Dont worry about that too much ! CCMS  look after their own. Transferred redundancies will be readily available to those who wish to be retained !

Any Irish teachers or anyone fluent can help with a query?
When translating counties such as Down and Meath; what's the story with the "An"?  Do I put An Dun or just Dun? ( fadas missing)  I'm listing all 32, if that makes any difference?  Thanks

Luckily you got the question in today or they'd refuse to answer until September.

Some websites leave the AN out, does that make the translation wrong?

The remember the day Jim Stynes emailed me his CCCCCCRRRRRSSSS Essays. Sound as a pound lad, thanks.

I've actually gone on to become head of RE in our school. But it is a state school so RE us not worth two shits.

We kid filling in his end of year sheet in my class, , stating what he liked...

"I really enjoyed learning stories from other cultures, especially the book 'Journey to Jo'berg'. It was great because we learnt about racism and things in South Africa. Then Mr. $:&;&@/@ would tell us his own stories from where he was from about the army and cops back in Ireland and his stories would last forever and take up loads of time"
