Matters Regarding Limerick šŸ™ļø

We donā€™t have an educate together option here at primary or secondary level.

A mate has his kids in one in Wicklow. Initially, it was great. A real multicultural experience. But as it has become more popular, itā€™s primarily middle class white kids getting in and has become known as ā€œSegregate Togetherā€

Why?

Why a bad move?

Hard to look past the Crescent Comp out your side.
Thereā€™s plenty travelling from our side out there every morning.

In Limerick it seems to be very multi cultural in the educate togethers and the Gaelscoils are for the segregating

Iā€™ve heard about the Gaelscoil. Breda doesnā€™t want little Johnnyā€™s learning held up by Pavel, so she fucks him into an Oirish speaking school

Because the system is stupid, if you donā€™t get your first choice youā€™ll go down the list for the popular schools

And the new Educate Together will prioritise the east of the city

Got here finally for an early lunch. Very tasty. Must go back some evening and have a proper cut off it. We didnā€™t go off the lunch menu as it was fairly small and there wasnā€™t much calling out from it, so it came in fairly expensive.

Year by year. I joined a school and 2nd year was the highest level.

The school already exists in a different location so itā€™s not quite the same

Gentlemen, talk to me about crĆØches in the City. Particularly the East/Eastern suburbs.

Fair enough Iā€™m sure itā€™s done both ways. I couldnā€™t imagine 5th and 6th being fully populated. Most kids would be happy to stay where they are Iā€™d presume

What year are you in now?

Iā€™m relaxing in transition year, I want a good 2 years of Harty cup.

Youā€™ll be doing well to get them in one, nevermind thinking about picking one.

@Thomas_Brady are you lined up for this gig?
Keep us informed as to how the dig is going.
This will be more box office than Treaty 300.

what was treaty 300?

Cork had an 800 year celebration in 1985, Dublin had a millennium one three years later, so Limerick had to come up with something.

They chose the 300th anniversary of the signing of a treaty that was broken before the ink was dry on it. It was very well lampooned by Gerry Stembridge on Scrap Saturday. There was a big festival the weekend of the World Cup final that year. It pissed rain and there was a ball of fellas stabbed. etc.

It was a 300 year celebration of a surrender. Lots of people didnā€™t agree with it at the time.
Hereā€™s a quick guide.

We were driving out home after it and the model Treaty Stone on the truck ahead of us made of styrofoam flew off the back, on and over the back our car. Good times
