March 19, 2013

Registration for a new Gaelcholáiste, which will open in Dundrum in 2014, is now open.

A large crowd gathered in Leopardstown to hear the latest news on Gaelcholáiste an Phiarsaigh.

An Foras Pátrúnachta is the patron of the new Gaelcholáiste. The school, which has a multidenominational ethos, will cater for the great demand for secondary school education through Irish in south Dublin.

Caoimhín Ó hEaghra, General Secretary of An Foras Pátrúnachta, said that An Foras Pátrúnachta and the Department of Education are currently working together to locate both a temporary site and a permanent site for the school.

Lorcán Mac Gabhann, chairperson of the founding committee, said that they are hopeful that the new school will be able to cater for the demand for education through Irish in the area.

The registration form as well as the admissions policy are available from the website www.gaelcholáiste.com
