Limerick special schools to benefit from additional funding

A NUMBER of special schools in Limerick will benefit from the allocation of new funding aimed at improving educational resources for students with significant needs.

That’s according to Limerick OPW Minister Kieran O’Donnell who confirmed that St Gabriel’s School, Catherine McAuley School, Red Hill School, and Limerick Community Special School are to be appointed a new deputy principal from the new school year on foot of the government funding allocation.

The four schools, as well as St Vincent’s in Lisnagry, will also benefit from an increased allocation of teaching hours from September.
