This afternoon.
Kildare Street, Dublin 2.
Pupils and teachers from five Gaelscoils (Scoil Bhríde, Gaelscoil Lios na nÓg, Scoil Mológa, Bunscoil Sancta Maria and Gaelscoil Eoin) plus some TDs (including Labour’s Ivana Bacik – above back centre) gathered outside Leinster House calling for a Gaelcholáiste for their school area, in South Dublin, which currently has 44 English-medium secondary schools and 0 Irish-medium secondary schools.
Letters and cards were handed in from the pupils to the Minister for Education Norma Foley to help secure her support for an independent Gaelcholáiste.
