Double celebration for Milltownpass family

There was double cause for celebration in the O’Reilly household in Milltownpass recently, when both husband and wife, Adrian and Jacinta, were awarded Postgraduate Diplomas in Inclusive and Special Education.

The couple studied at Hibernia College in Dublin, and last week, at the college’s annual conferring ceremony at the Dublin Convention Centre, they were among 937 graduates from all 26 counties to qualify with Masters in Primary and Post-Primary teaching, or with a Postgraduate Diploma in Inclusive and Special Education.

Congratulating them, Dr Mary Kelly, Academic Dean at Hibernia College, said all graduating will help shape futures, inspire change, and contribute to the betterment of society.

At the convention centre to see their parents receive their qualifications were the O’Reilly children, Ella, Rían, Mya and Ava.
