Lenihan opens new non-denominational school

Finance Minister Brian Lenihan has officially opened the country's first-ever independent non-denominational primary school.

Scoil Choilm in the Clonsilla area of west Dublin is not attached to any religious order or run by Educate Together.

It was originally opened on a temporary site in 2007 as an emergency move due to overcrowding at schools in the Dublin 15 area.

Minister Lenihan is the local TD for the area.
