The final-year Early and Modern Irish student from New York wants to enable the writing of dissertations in Irish, and offer students an option to access College-affiliated websites such as Blackboard and my.tcd.ie through Irish.
Additionally, he hopes to introduce beginners’ Irish language classes in the Global Room for international students.
