Why this school in Galway is giving €2,000 to new pupils

A school in Galway is offering €2,000 to new pupils who join the school in an attempt to prevent the loss of its second teacher. Scoil Naomh Pádraig in Connemara is set to lose three of its seven pupils next September, and therefore, its second teacher. The Parents Committee’s fundraiser has brought in €14,000 to potentially share with seven families that choose to educate their children at the Gaelscoil, which is located between loughs Corrib and Mask in north Connemara. Joining Andrea to discuss is Ruaidhrí Kineavy, Treasurer for the Parents Committee for the school.
