Kilteevan National School made history this evening (12  June  2014) by winning the Cumman na mBun Scol county Hurling Final for two teacher schools for the first time.

Congratulations and well done, we are very proud of you all

Kilteevan Community Development Group would like to wish all students from the community who are starting the Junior Cert and Leaving Cert examinations tomorrow the very best of luck.

Dont worry just TRUST YOURSELF, you know much more than you think you do!

Between 1946 and 1961, a half a million people left Ireland. In 1890, four out of every ten people born in Ireland were living abroad. Do you have Kilteevan roots? Are you part of Kilteevan’s diaspora?

If so we share a common history and a special bond of place.

Following on the success of Kilteevan Gathering in 2013, we want to continue to celebrate the living heritage of Ireland as well as that of the past.

Since August 2013, we are on the World Wide Web so technology is now offering us increased opportunities to connect and network with you.

 We would like to build a database of Kilteevan’s diaspora for the purpose of keeping you up to date with news and events from home.

For example, we want to invite you to

Féile Samhraidh, Kilteevan, Mid- Summer Festival June 21^st and 22^nd. 2014.

The full programme of events will follow.

Please contact us at [email protected] with your name, country, email address and any details you wish to share with us and you will become part of our virtual community.

Twelve year old James Mooney, a pupil of Kilteevan National School won an award recently in Roscommon Drama Festival Storytelling competition. James wrote a story was about World War 1.
