IF YOU’RE looking for a job, Scoil na mBuachaillí in Clonakilty, Co Cork, has about a dozen going. Only thing is, anyone over the age of 12 need not apply.

To view the job spec, see the back page of the January school newsletter where “situations vacant” include producer, front of house manager, sound crew, lighting crew, and costumes and property manager.
