Primary school in Limerick

FutureGuy

Hi all,
Our little fella is not baptised and we are looking at primary schools for junior infants in 2022. Has anyone any advice on schools etc? I appreciate that no school can discriminate based on whether a child is baptised or not but that may still happen.

You need to give more info on what type of school and general location you perfer, before you can get even a general answer. Local or city school, English or gealscoil, educate together, faith(which faith), mixed or single gender, etc. Most schools now tend to have a good mix of children who haven't been baptised.

I doubt if that's an issue in Limerick. As far as I know baptism certs we're a Dublin issue in heavily oversubscribed areas. Never heard of it in our locality, Raheen.

Did you get any school?

Can anyone advise if there's any gaelscoils in the city centre? As far as I know, there was one near the secondary one by the Locke, but it's moved outside of town. Are there any others?

The Modhscoil (Model) is the closest one to town.

Gaelscoil Chaladh an Treoidh is on the Dublin Road, beyond the Kilmurry Lodge.
Gaelscoil an Raithín is in Mungret these days.
Gaelscoil Sáirséal moved out to Hassett's Cross.
Gaelscoil Sheoirse Clancy is near the Roxboro Roundabout.

Kids from the county and other sides of the city go there so not local
Just ask around and see how hard it is to get in there

Sure it wouldn't be BP without some form of discrimination in there.
If its not the "foreign nationals" its the Limerick elite keeping an modh Scoil to itself

It’s well known as a hard school to get into

It really isn't, selective yes.
But selective and discrimatory are not the same thing.

How many of your own kids have you placed in local schools?

Mc Love

Plenty of local kids going there too.
