    I have sub taught in many schools in the Dublin 12 area and am currently teaching in a fantastic school in Dublin 12 so I should be able to help you out. What age and gender is your child/ children?

    I tried to send you this by PM but without luck. I think a big part of your decision will come down to whether you want to send your children to the same school and which part of Dublin 12 you live in. I sub taught in 20 schools when I first graduated from college. One of the best I taught in was the Assumption school in Walkinstown, in terms of the hard working, innovative, kind and visionary teachers. There are 3 schools located on the same grounds- the Junior Girls, the Senior Girls (upstairs) and the Junior Boys (Junior Infs- 1st). The Junior Boys would then typically move across to Drimnagh Castle Boys primary school. I know there is a mixed, vertical (Junior- 6th) in Walkinstown called St. Damiens, which I've heard good things about. I also sub taught in St. Agnes in Crumlin, which is a good school. I wouldn't know much about the schools in Drimnagh. If you want anymore details, just let me know.

    I taught in St Pauls senior girls primary a few years back & made the gut wrenching decision to move home to live in the country-fabulous school-only happy memories!

    Sorry, I don't have too knowledge about St.Damians but if you google the school name, they might have a website.
