My grandfather was the King of Claddagh. The people of Claddagh voted to have him King in 1972. To become king you need to know the history of The Claddagh and to be respected by all the people. As King he had to go to various meetings and functions in Galway. He was a great historian so he was able to speak to the different tourists who came to see him. He reigned until he died 5 years ago. The present king is Michael Lynskey who was chosen because of his great knowledge of fishing and sailing in The Claddagh. Michael will be leading the way in this year's Blessing of the Bay.

We decided to write a song about the area and the school for a competition. We got everybody to write a few lines at home and put it together at school with the help of the teachers. Mr. Forde, our principal, and Yvonne, our Home School Liaison teacher, composed the music for the song. We recorded the song on tape and made a video of it. This is the song and we hope you like it.
