At a time when young people and community activity is often criticised it give me great pleasure to be able to Congratulate three local Groups:<\/p>\n

St. Joseph’s Junior Traveller Education School, Milltown<\/strong>: As Chairperson of the school I am so proud to be able to announce that the pupils in St. Joseph\u2019s secured a 100% success rate in this years State Exams. This is no mean achievement and a real tribute to the teachers, young people and their parents.<\/p>\n

Congratulations are also due to Sean O\u2019Mahony<\/strong> and his team on their recent success.<\/p>\n

All good stories come in threes and in that context it is also a pleasure to congratulate all involved in the Milltown St. Vincent de Paul<\/a> Conference<\/strong> on the opening of the Marian Hall apartments. This will add to the successful development of the St. Broc\u2019s apartments some years ago and together with the new Pastoral Centre is a real addition to the area. In my view the next major and clearly important challenge is the provision of sufficient and quality schooling opportunities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
