The doors to the new building for Gaelscoil Éadan Doire, Co Offaly, opened this week for the first time. Six years after it was announced that a new building would be built for them, the place is ready, at a cost of €2 million. Founded in 2008, up to now the school was based in an old factory that did not have much space or facilities. The new building boasts eight classrooms, ten learning support rooms, a hall, a library and two yards. The children say there is no comparison between the two places. “This is a new era for us now”, said principal of the school Póla Ní Chinnsealaigh. “Sometimes people think that there isn’t a lot of Gaeilge in Edenderry, but it surprises me the amount pf people that come to the doors of the school and speak Gaeilge with us. We’re very grateful for that.” D’oscail doirse Ghaelscoil Éadan Doire, Contae Uíbh Fhailí, an tseachtain seo. Sé bliana ó fógraíodh go dtógfaidh foirgneamh nua dóibh, tá an áit réidh anois, ar chostas €2 mhilliún. Bunaithe i 2008, bhí an scoil lonnaithe go dtí seo i sean mhonarcha, nach raibh mórán spáis nó áiseanna ann. San fhoirgneamh nua, tá ocht seomra ranga, deich seomra tacaíochta, halla, leabharlann agus dhá chlós. Deir na páistí nach bhfuil comparáid idir an dá áit. “Ré nua é seo dúinn anois”, a dúirt Póla Ní Chinnsealaigh, príomhoide na scoile. “Uaireanta ceapann daoine nach bhfuil móran Gaeilge in Éadan Doire, ach cuireann sé ionadh orm an méid daoine a thagann chuig doras na scoile agus a labhraíonn as Gaeilge linn. Táimid thar a bheith buíoch as sin.”
