Room 6 headed off on their first walking tour to The National Museum in Kildare Street. We had our lunch in Stephen’s Green and on our way home examined the bullet holes in the statue of Daniel O’Connell.

Joey’s soccer 5 aside squad. Joey’s won their district and finished top against 16 other schools at FAI headquarters at the National Aquatic Centre. The boys then progressed on to the Dublin finals in Irishtown and it was only a single goal which prevented the boys from becoming Dublin champions for 2016. It was a great effort by all the boys, well done!
