Tá traidsiún láidir maidir le díospóireacht sa ghaeilge i Meánscoil Muire gan Smál. Gach bliain, bíonn deis ag daltaí sóisearacha agus sinsearacha páirt a ghlacadh sa chomórtas náisiúnta Gael Linn. Le déanaí, bhí rath iontach orainn sa chraobh réigiúnach leis an bhfoireann sinsearach agus sa chraobh uile-Éireann leis an bhfoireann sóisearach.
