School’s farewell events open to all

The principal of a primary school that is poised to move to a new building has issued an invitation to all to a series of farewell events.

Gabriel Ó Cathasaigh, the founding principal of Gaelscoil Uí Ríordáin in Ballincollig, Co Cork, will host a reunion for past pupils and their families tomorrow night.

It will be the first of several marking the end of the school’s three decades at Inniscarra Rd, close to the former home of poet Seán Ó Ríordáin — after whom the school is named.
