Conás tá sibh? or how are you? I thought that my first few words on this blog should be in Irish, just as my first few spoken words were in Irish, although, I'm sure back then, i was asking for milk and not wondering how everyone was.
My name is Seán Pól Ó Conchúir, and I'm the Director of the Sacred Heart University Dingle Campus, that makes me sound important, and maybe i am.. I'm the man who looks after the wonderful students who decide to come to Dingle to study and experience another culture. I'm working with SHU in Dingle now for about 3 years and I have to say, that I throughly enjoy it, and I've met some wonderful students over this time, and I take particular pleasure in giving students new experiences, from climbing Mount Brandon (Ireland's second highest mountain) to swimming with Fungi, the famous Dingle Dolphin. Hopefully, we'll get some feedback from past students on the blog at a later date.
Our campus is located in Dingle, which is in the south west of Ireland. Dingle is a great place to live,especially if you love the outdoor life, and boy, is there an outdoor life here in Dingle, we've got the sea and the mountains, and so many different activities to do, but, more about Dingle and the various activities you can do here in a later post.
Well, that's my first post, actually my very first blog.. Seán signing off.
ps. I might from time to time include a few words in Irish, so anybody who wants to learn how to say hello, or goodbye should tune in and before you know it, you'll be dreaming in Irish. Slán (goobye)
