The Teachers Inspire Ireland initiative is organised and run by Dublin City University. Teachers Inspire is an Ireland-wide initiative that seeks to celebrate teachers and to recognise the transformative role they play in our lives and in our communities. 
 
Our curator is the author Louise O’Neill has been going through the uplifting submissions over the last few months and we are delighted to say that Louise announces on the podcast the four inspirational awardees for 2021.

Curator Louise O’Neill said, “we received hundreds of entries for the Teachers Inspire initiative and if there was any recurring theme, it was the power of teachers to encourage their students to believe in themselves, and how those young people carried that message throughout their entire lives.”
 
The four Awardees are Claire Duffy, from Skerries Community College, nominated by Rob O’Hanrahan, Una Smith from Virginia College, nominated by Shauna Marie Sheridan, Donna Fitzgerald from St Joseph’s Secondary School, Tulla, nominated by Conor Gorey and Liz Kett, Grennan College, Thomastown who was nominated by Gerard Kelly.  
 
Prof Daire Keogh, President of Dublin City University said “The response to the second year of the Teachers Inspire initiative has been phenomenal. Once again, we have received extraordinary testimonies from people across the country, who have spoken about the hugely positive influence teachers have had on their lives and on the life of communities. I want to congratulate the four worthy recipients of this honour, who are representative of the excellence, passion, and dedication of so many of Ireland’s teachers.”
