Gaisce — the President’s Award — is Ireland’s national challenge award and recognises achievements by young people who have improved their personal skills, worked in the community and taken part in a travel adventure.
At the award presentation ceremony in Dublin Castle, President Michael D. Higgins paid tribute to the voluntary work of young people.
