anyone have a child in school in Dunboyne?

I am just wondering due to the shortage of places in schools in Maynooth is there any of you driving to DUnboyne every day?

Is that a shortage of post primary places in Maynooth ?

( sort of interested living in Celbridge )

Moonbeam

primary, but only if you do not want them going to an all girls convent.

That's amazing , even with the re-built Irish School and the Educate Together across the road there is still a shortage ?

We had her name down before she was 1 in the Gaelscoil,she has done 2 years on naionra and we speak a lot of irish at home and we are still way down the list.
It is 1st come 1st served there but no one is coming off the list this year,it sucks.

The re-built Gealscoil is just a new building - it's still a single stream school. The new building just replaced the old ones.
And when I left the BoM of the ET school 3 years ago it was already fully enrolled for 2013 and 14 and half full for 2015.

The Gaelscoil takes 60 every year the ET takes 30, they are so far under capacity that they turn away over 100 kids every year each.
The convent still has room though.

Two stream sorry. But the new building didn't change that.
