DUBLIN GAA manager Jim Gavin presented Clondalkin Youthreach members with their end of year academic certificates at a recent ceremony.

In July, Clondalkin Youthreach marked the end of the academic year with 26 students achieving their Quality and Qualifications Ireland (formerly FETAC) awards at levels 3 and 4.

Three students also achieved a level 5 Certificate in Occupational First Aid, a first for the centre.

Clondalkin native Jim Gavin took time out from his busy schedule to meet the students.

“It was a huge honour to have a home-grown hero officiate the proceedings,” said Antoinette O’Mahony from Clondalkin Youthreach.

“He gave a very inspirational talk to the students and encouraged them to follow their dreams. He compared them to his team preparing for a big game, saying that the students are in preparation for their futures. He acknowledged the great work that Youthreach does with young people.”
