    Everytime anyone asks Enda Kenny about his experience outside politics he always mentions he worked as a primary school teacher in Skerries in the 70s. So does anyone remember our future Taoiseach in waiting teaching them?

    Cant say I ever heard of him teaching in Skerries but fck me if he is the best we can do as an alternative to our current leader we will have a few hard classes coming up. Wernt the Skerries folk blessed the day he opted for politics!

    @Leo - LOL! :D

    Back to the OP - He didn't teach in St Patrick's NS or the Holy Faith Convent as far as I can remember. Maybe he taught in the De La Salle secondary school?

    Just thinking further - there was also St Móbhí's in Milverton or the CoI NS in Holmpatrick. He could have taught in either.

    Its definately a primary school, all the bio's online say he qualified as a primary school teacher. He practised for two years but he may have not taught in Skerries for both those years. He then took over the family TD seat after his fathers death in the 20th Dail in 1973. It does make sense that he was a primary school teacher, he still has that way they use to speak to you when you were 7 and did something wrong.

    He may have taught in St Patrick's NS in Jackser Doyle's (anyone remember him?) time in the very early 70's before I started there.
