Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne principal Éamonn Fitzmaurice is immensely proud of the part his past and present pupils have played in Dingle and An Ghaeltacht reaching the Senior and Intermediate All-Ireland finals.

Equally, the former Kerry boss and history teacher, who has piloted the Dingle institution since 2018, says it was the seamless collaboration between the school and all the West Kerry clubs that played a vital part in Pobalscoil's six Munster titles and two All-Irelands.
