Two new Gaelscoileanna to be established in Leinster

March 8, 2011

The Department of Education has approved the establishment of two new Gaelscoileanna in Leinster.

The two Gaelscoileanna will be located in Ashbourne in County Meath and in Mulhuddart in Dublin.

An Foras Pátrúnachta is the patron body for the two new schools but no commitment has been given to provide permanent accommodation for the new schools as of yet.

It is hoped that the new school in Ashbourne will open this September with a new school in Mulhuddart to open the next school year.

Minister Mary Coughlan gave the go-ahead for the establishment of the 2 new schools last week and also approved applications from three multi-denominational schools under the patronage of Educate Together.
