Each year many teachers and other educators working in DEIS settings join our Master of Education programme, do get in touch if you’d like to know more.

Please RT: Our lovely ginger cat is missing in the Drumcondra area! Hendrix is a 1-year-old male, short-haired ginger cat, with white socks and a white beard. He's neutered and microchipped. If you see him please get in touch, he's really missed.
