Garbally National School

Ballinruane National School

The area had a second school at Ballinruane but due to a number of factors including a fall-off in enrolments this school closed its doors in 2002. An interesting article appears on the web on the closure of the school written by

Dea Brikett which, unfortuniately does not portray the area in the best possible light. It is unfortunate to see a school close in an area as it somewhat lessens the future potential of that district and we always need to consider future needs in the making of decisions of such great maginatude.

Indeed the closure of the school has been mentioned in many articles in the media throughout the world, including  another on the site racematters.org.
