Fri 07 Jul 2010Four Irish schools set to open in North
FOUR NEW Irish language primary schools will open in Northern Ireland in September, Education Minister Caitríona Ruane has announced.
The schools are Gaelscoil an tSeancha, Magherafelt; Gaelscoil na mBeann, Kilkeel; Gaelscoil Léim an Mhadaidh, Limavady; and Gaelscoil Choin Rí Uladh, Ballymena. The decision was made on the basis of growing demand for Irish language education, said Ms Ruane. Funding from the Department of Education will be conditional on the schools achieving admissions thresholds and proving their long-term viability.
