    Courageous woman leaders is only one word to describe this group of inspirational women!!! I thoroughly enjoyed this article! Where to start, St. Brigid, a phenomenal woman. I just can’t believe that she offered up to 14,000 women an alternative to domestic life! A fearless negotiator to help others. (Hence the story of the knitted cloak that gave St. Brigid the land to build a church). Every year our school make St. Brigid crosses!

    Secondly, Mary Robinson!! Ireland’s 7th President, but Ireland’s 1st female president!! Next in her career after seven years since December 3rd 1990, she accepted the honour of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and held that until 2002!! Now, last but definitely not least, inspiring woman for today is……Mary McAleese, the second female president, what an accomplishment!!! Also Mary McAleese was ranked 55th most powerful woman in the world in 2006!!

    All these women are absolutely extraordinary and unique women of our Irish history!! I enjoyed this article so much! Thanks Aine Mc Keon for this excellent article!

    Hello, my name is Regina and I am from Ukraine. Thank you for writing stories about space. I am very interested in the topic of space. In Ukraine, I have a telescope and in winter I always looked at the constellations, it is so interesting. I hope that soon I will return to Ukraine and look at the constellations again every evening. When I saw these pictures, I was amazed. It looks as if it is from some magical world. Thank you. Happy Easter💋

    Yasss I've literally been waiting for a article on this for a while now and I'm so happy it's here now. Like the writer of this article I agree with Logan Paul being me personal favourite as a wrestler and as a YouTube and I'm sure like his videos this match will be as entertaining. A couple of my friends are going and let's just say I have never been so jealous in my life. Anyway thanks for taking time out of your busy life to entertain heaps of primary school students. Goodbye😃

    In Lithuania we paint eggs every Easter. And on Easter when the eggs are ready we play this game were you have to get an strong lucky egg and you have to smash the other person's egg and if your egg is the last one standing without a crack you win. Well anyways thank you Nynne Lehbert and clic news for this beautiful article.🐰🐰🐥🐣🐤

    I think 2030 would be a bit too long if Im being honest. Our school already has hot meals! Its not that bad. The meal options are really good , they even have vegetarian options too! The hot meals don’t taste like the ones in the fancy restaurants and our teacher makes Bisto gravy for us to put it with out hot lunches for example: beef , mash potato , chicken , potato cubes , carrots and peas!! It tastes really good with gravy in my opinion. But I hope other schools get hot meals too! Thank you for creating this article!

    I did not know that there was so many celebrities with dyslexia. I too have dyslexia and I sometimes struggle with my words and reading. I get loads of support from my school and family. I work extra hard with my reading and my sister and I read every night so I can get better. I too call my dyslexia my superpower and I love it. 📚🦸‍♀️👩‍🏫

    I think that summer break should be longer. My reasons are, you get time to chill out and relax. I love going to places like Wicklow and other places in Ireland during the summer. I love travelling around Ireland and telling my friends when I go back to school in September the places that I've been to. I also love to read every night so this is one thing that I will not give up when I'm on my summer holidays. Its also important not to sit in on your phones or tablets during the summer break.💦🤽‍♀️🏄‍♀️

    The old Peter Pan is my dad's favourite film. Still to this day we all watch it together. My dad also said that he cannot wait to see the new one with us all. When I was younger my favourite character was thinkerbell. I love how beautiful she was and I always wanted to fly like she did. I really can't wait to see this one with my mam, dad and my two sisters.🧚‍♀️📽🚢

    Hello! My name is… luka. And i think kids should because its interesting to know how our parents and older people lived back in the day. Instead of us in this generation with loads of electronics. Because back in the day people didnt have electricity and had to use candles but now we have lights and they didnt have washing machines they had to do everything by hand. But now everyone is just on their phones and electronics while back in the day they were outside all the time and finding stuff to do. Anyway thank you Eric Cundelan for this great artical!

    We are sorry but the full site content is only available to registered CLiCNews users.

    CLiC News is the exciting venture from the Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin) Access and Civic Engagement (ACE) Office, that brings you all the latest news stories written and produced especially for primary school pupils.

    Our free news website, CLiC News, was set up in conjunction with the TU Dublin School of Media and  Students Learning with Communities (SLWC) to provide a resource for DEIS schools in Dublin. We have subsequently made the site available to all primary schools but provide added support to local DEIS schools.

    We have set up a restricted site as we want to produce a safe environment for children which allows them to leave comments without feeling intimidated and ensures that they will only come in contact with their peers or teachers.

    Within the site, news items are written by Journalist students from the TU Dublin at a level which reflects the age range of the children (4th, 5th and 6th class) and is presented in a way which precludes using graphical images and language which are unsuitable for young children.

    As an encouragement and aid to improving Reading and Writing skills the children are encouraged to comment on stories which have been published.

    All the children's comments are pre-moderated and awarded stars based on their grammar and content. We also provide facilities for registered teachers to download the children s comments from their school so that the content can be assessed offline.

    Within CLiC News, as a parallel to published news items, we run various Polls and Competitions all designed to help improve the level and standards of literacy among the children.

    For more information on CLiC News and how you may apply to register your class please contact us HERE

    CLiC News is run in conjunction with the Journalism Department in TU Dublin Grangegorman and is part of an initiative run by the 'Students Learning With Communities' (SLWC) programme.
