Gaelscoil Brú na Páirce, Cill Áirne officially known as Gaelscoil Faithleann is recognised as a Primary School by my Department.

The scheme for the Summer course programme for Primary teachers is administered by Drumcondra Education Centre on behalf of my Department. The main objective of summer courses is the development of teachers' pedagogic and management skills, in the context of the work of the Primary school. These courses are self financing. Drumcondra Education Centre or my Department has no record of receiving an application from Gaelscoil Faithleann for funding for it's Summer Courses.

If Gaelscoil Faithleann wishes to apply for recognition for future summer courses they should contact Drumcondra Education Centre.
