Gaeilge
Frása na Seachtaine: Tá sos fliuch ann.Very appropriate for this week! Perhaps also Bhí sos fliuch ann and Beidh sos fliuch ann! You can play around a little with these; Tá an bóthar fliuch. Tá sé ag cur báistí (go trom). Tá uisce ar an mbóthar. etc.etc. In this country we can’t be stuck for words to use on this subject!
Gritting of Roads
We have been advised by Laois County Council that road gritting and salting for the approcah roads to the school has been confirmed on the schedule of works by the Area Engineer for 2018. We hope that this will result in an improvement in road conditions during icy spells.
Parking
Now that winter has arrived there tends to be more cars at the school in the mornings and evenings. We remind you of the need to be patient and considerate to ensure safe and convenient parking for all. If you are using the ‘overflow’ car park to the rear of the school in the evenings, please drive slowly and be vigilant. Thank you.
