Michael Moynihan (FF), Cork North-West

I would appreciate if the Senator could give me more details on the students he mentions. Both the Department and I will look at the issue to see how we can ensure the best outcome. Second level education through the medium of Irish has become extremely popular not just in Kerry but right across the country. It is something we must encourage right across the system, notwithstanding the excellence provided in Gaelcholáiste Chiarraí and throughout the country. I know the communities and areas the Senator mentions, as we are just over the border.
Senator Kennelly mentions nine students going to the Gaelscoil in Listowel. Are they going into fifth class and sixth class in September?
