Public meeting re Gaelcholáiste an Phiarsaigh, new school in Dundrum
February 27, 2013
A public meeting will be held on Thursday, 14 March 2013 – 8.00pm, in Bewleys Hotel Leopardstown, regarding the establishment of Gaelcholáiste an Phiarsaigh in September 2014.
Welcoming the decision of the Department of Education and Skills to sanction a new Gaelcholáiste under the patronage of Foras Pátrúnachta na Scoileanna lánGhaeilge Mr Lorcán Mac Gabhann, Chair of the founding group said,
“In September 2014 Gaelcholáiste an Phiarsaigh will open its doors to pupils from Dundrum and its surrounding areas. For many years there has been an over supply of pupils from primary schools wishing to attend existing All-Irish Schools that could not be catered for.”
It has been very evident that this problem has become more acute in recent years and Mr Mac Gabhann is certain that Gaelcholáiste an Phiarsaigh will overcome this problem.
Parents and interested parties are welcome to attend the public meeting on the 14 March, where they will receive further informaion regarding Gaelcholáiste an Phiarsaigh and All-Irish second level education generally. Enrolment forms for Gaelcholáiste an Phiarsaigh will be available on the night.
