The Catch — Honest Parent Note
Academically the best in the state, but the catch is absolute: if your child doesn't speak Irish fluently by age 12, they will likely be rejected. This is not for 'new' expats.
Catchment Area: Most non-fee-paying schools in Ireland operate on a catchment area basis. You usually must live within a specific distance or have a sibling in the school to secure a spot.
State-funded. Small voluntary contributions may apply.
