[lang_ie]Sé Niall Foody atá i gceist leis an teideal seo mar a bhí pléite roimhe – bhain Niall amach an Phríomhdhuais ag NFTE Éireann mar gheall ar an táirge nua a chruthaigh sé ..”Key You In”. Seo nasc anseo fhad leis an phíosa iomlán ar an suíomh seo i mí Eanáir agus faoi láthair tá Niall féin agus a mháthair Claire i Nua Eabhrac mar aíonna speisialta ar ócáid mhór ansin agus ag bualadh le fiontraí agus lucht gnó ó chomhlachtaí móra an domhain. Rinne RTÉ Nationwide cuir síos ar Niall ar an chlár le gairid agus tig amharc ar anseo fós agus tá athchraoladh anocht fós (Dé Luain 22 Eanáir) ar RTÉ 1 ag a 7.00 tráthnóna.
Fuair an Rannóg Gnó ón scoil Choláiste Earagail trófaí fós siocair an méid a baineadh amach ina iomláine ag Dámhachtain Fhiontraíochta NFTE. Tá bród ar an múinteoir gnó Danny McFadden agus thug seisean buíochas don éascaitheoir NFTE sa Chontae anseo agus atá fós mar Oibrí don Aos Óg, John Muldowney.
Bhí 16 de Mhac Léinn na hIdirbhliana ó Choláiste Earagail a bhain Teastais amach – Niall ar ndóigh a phlé mé agus fós Michael Foy a fuair Teastas Bua na Déantúsaíochta do ghnó s’aige féin – “Michael’s Tasty Treats” – atá i mbun gnó le sé mhí anuas. I measc na moltóirí ar an lá bhí Bobbi Kerr ó Dragon’s Den agus deirfiúr do Ronan Keating..Marie.
Comhghairdeas libh go léir.[/lang_ie]
