Le seachtain anuas tá scéal iontach faighte ag Gaelscoil Riabhach, scéal lena raibh muid ag súil leis na blianta. Cuireadh bord bainistíochta na scoile ar an eolas go bhfuil an Roinn Oideachais agus Scileanna i ndiaidh glacadh lena iarratas um fhoirgneamh scoile buan 12-oide a thógáil agus go bhfuil an Roinn tosaithe ar shuíomh úr don scoil a aimsiú.
Gaelscoil Riabhach, Loughrea’s multi-denominational Irish-medium primary school, has received some long overdue news from the Department of Education and Skills in the past week. The school’s board of management have been informed that the school’s application for a permanent 12-teacher school has been accepted and that the Department has commenced the immediate acquisition of a suitable greenfield site for the construction of the school.
Bunaíodh Gaelscoil Riabhach i Meán Fómhair 2000 agus tá forbairt tagtha uirthi ‘chuile bhliain ó shin. Tá rogha oideachais á tairiscint ag an scoil sa gceantar, le gach ábhar múinte trí mheán na Gaeilge (seachas an Béarla). Chomh maith le sin tá sí ar cheann de na céad scoileanna ilchreidmheacha in iarthar na hÉireann. Faoi láthair ta foirgnimh shealadacha ag an scoil i gCois Carraige, in iarthar an bhaile, áit a bhfuil tar-éis áiseanna iontacha a fhorbairt. Ní leor cóiríocht reatha na scoile, áfach, chun dul i ngleic le clárúcháin tuartha na scoile amach anseo. Mar sin, tá an scoil curtha san áireamh sa gclár chaipitiúil €2.2 billiún atá beartaithe ag an Roinn thar an gcéad trí bliana eile.
Gaelscoil Riabhach was established in September 2000 and has grown each year. The school offers educational choice in the area with all subjects (except English) being taught through the medium of Irish. The school is also one of the first multi-faith schools in the west of Ireland. At present the school is accommodated in temporary buildings in Coscarrig, in the west of the town, where the school has developed excellent facilities. The present school buildings, however, are insufficient to deal with future predicted enrolments and the Department of Education and Skills have therefore included the building of a new building for Gaelscoil Riabhach in the Government’s €2.2 billion capital budget over the next three years.
Tá Bord Bainistíochta na scoile i mbun feachtais le deich mbliana anuas don fhaomhadh seo agus tugadh tacaíocht ollmhór don chruinniú deireanach a shocraíodh chun aitheantas na Roinne a bhaint amach. Tá an bord fíor-bhuíoch do thuismitheoirí na scoile thar na blianta agus braitheann an bord gur luach saothair é an fógra seo dá dtiomantais. Gabhann an bord buíochas freisin leis an Aire Ciarán Cannon, Colm Keaveney T.D. agus an Cllr. Trevor Ó Clochartaigh as freastal ar an gcruinniú agus as a gcuid tacaíochta. Tá an bord ag iarraidh go mbeadh scoil nua-aimseartha tógtha gan moill agus cinnteofar é seo amach anseo.
The Board of Management has been campaigning for this approval for the last ten years and their recent meeting to push for approval was supported by a large turnout of parents. The Board is greatly appreciative of the support of the school’s parents over the last decade and feel that this announcement by the Department is a just reward for their commitment. The Board also wish to thank Minister Ciarán Cannon, Colm Keaveney, T.D. and Cllr. Trevor ó Clochartaigh for attending the meeting and for their continued support on this project. The Board envisages that the project to build our new modern school building will be progressed with urgency and intend to continue with our campaigning to ensure that this is so.

Is breá an scéal é seo! Ní raibh siúl ar bith agam go dtarlódh a leithid le blianta fada mar gheall ar an gcúlú eacnamaíocha.
Great news! I was not expecting that this would happen for many years due to the economic depression.
‘seo scéal iontach agus tá mé an-bhródúil as seasmhacht na dtuismitheoirí thar na blianta, agus as ardchumas agus díogras na múinteoirí… agus ar ndóigh as dílseacht na ndaltaí dá scoil. Tá céim mhór tógtha inniu, bímis cinnte anois sprioc nua, 2014, a leagan síos don fhoirgneamh úr! Nollaig shona daoibh go léir, dáltaí, iardhaltaí, tuistí, iarthuistí, baill bhoird agus iarbhaill bhoird agus foireann na scoile. Maith sibh!
this is brilliant news and I am proud of the commitment of the parents over the past 11 years, proud of the skill and dedication of the teaching staff, and of course proud of the loyalty of the students to their school. Todays news is s big step forward so lets all set ourselves a new target now, to be in the building by 2014. Nollaig shona daoibh to each and every one of the pupils, former pupils, parents and former parents, Board members past and present and to all who have taught and continue to teach in the school. Maith sibh!
Fantastic news! Can’t wait…. Well done everyone!
Nuacht iontach! Is fada uaim é … Maith sibh chuile dhuine!
Brilliant news let the building begin !!:)))))
Thar cionn – ar aghaidh leis an tógáil!
Tá alán áthas orm! Ni ceart go cur le cheile! Obair foirne go maith!
I’m so delighted, really, really happy for the fantastic teaching staff that you will get to work in a world class working environment which you so deserve. I’m delighted for the students and my little man-een Kyle who will get to enjoy the new school!
I appreciate the work Ciarán Cannon, Colm Keaveney and Trevor ó Clochartaigh together with the Bord of Management, and all the parents have put into this project. I also really appreciate all the hard work of the past parents who have put energy into making this our reality but who’s children have left the school so may never get to enjoy the fruit of their labour.
It was lovely to see the children on telly last night – I felt proud of everyone’s hard work and efforts and somewhat emotional at Kyles excitement that it was really happening! The newscaster was right; this is an early Christmas present for our school and I hope the teachers get to celebrate in style!
