Go bhfuil Pramerica tiomanta le tacaíocht a thabhairt don phobal áitiúil agus a thugann scóip don fhoireann bheith ag dul i ngleic leis na mic léinn óga ó Choláiste na Maoile Ruaidhe.” Tá sé mar phribhléid,” a dúirt Emma , “a bheith ag obair le macasamhail Jamie agus na mic léinn eile agus tá mé ag tnúth go mór leis an chaidreamh a choinneáil.”
