Primary schools Aston Village Educate Together, Drogheda and St Josephs GNS in Finglas, Dublin and secondary schools Margaret Aylwards Community College, Dublin and Abbey Community College, Wicklow were presented with awards by former TD and Senator Michael D Higgins.

The Yellow Flag Programme was piloted with four schools in 2008 by the Irish Traveller movement.
