Early 2024 opening for new Birr Gaelscoil building

Gaelscoil na Laochra in Birr is hoping to move to its new premises on the Tullamore Road early in the New Year.

It brings to an end a long campaign for a permanent home and the the school says it will have “a state of the art new school building with fantastic modern facilities”

And not only will the gaelscoil have a new building, but 2024 will also bring some new additions to what the school offers including a new ASD classroom and a free hot meal service for all pupils.

The coeducational school has a wide variety of additional activities such as VEX robotics, swimming, cycling, hurling and gaelic football. The school did particularly well in the recent athletics competitions organised by Offaly Sports Partnerships and was joint winners of the football Cumann na mBunscol competition, alongside St Brendan's Primary School.

The school is well established in the town of Birr now and prides itself as being another option for parents as they consider schools for their children. An open day will be held in the new school in the new year also. For enquiries please call 087-4394549 or visit the website www.gaelscoilnalaochra.com
