My Department is fully supportive and remains committed to the establishment of a Gaelcholáiste in the Dublin South City area.

The necessary arrangements for the transition of Synge St CBS are currently being worked through with the school’s management and patron to facilitate a smooth transition from an English-medium boys post-primary school to a co-educational Gaelcholáiste in September 2026.

These arrangements will be communicated to the wider school community and interested stakeholders as soon as possible. In addition there will be direct communication to parents and guardians of prospective students as part of the admissions process that will commence in the Autumn of 2025.
