All-Irish secondary school for Carrigaline

THE announcement that a new all-Irish, second-level school is to open in Carrigaline, Co Cork, in 2014 has been welcomed by county councillors.

Carrigaline is one of 14 locations around Ireland where the Department of Education says there is enough demand for places to warrant opening new schools in 2013 or 2014.

The town’s only second-level facility, Carrigaline Community School, is attended by more than 900 students.
