2nd Class were lucky enough to be invited for an amazing trip to acollins Barracks yesterday. We visited the Museum qnd learned all about Michael Collins. We climbed into a Garda helicopter, heard all about how it works and then saw it take off. We were able to try out equipment for climbing, bomb disposal and mine disposal. We got inside an armoured car and took turns to peep out through the roof. We attended a concert by the Army Band, learned all about the different instruments and even got to hold them. Finally we had lunch in the Officers Mess, which was very fancy. An absolutely brilliant wonderful experience, thank you so much to all of the Defence Force personnel who were so kind and welcoming. @dfsmireland

The boys & girls in the senior building have been busy counting this week to see if they could figure out the number of eggs in our Easter display...No-one actually managed to get the real number....however there were 4 who were only 1 number away. …..Well Done. Also we had 2 “Off the Wall” winners whose guesses were so far away from the real number they deserved a prize !!! 🥚 🍫
