Visit by Minister Pascal Donohue and the Co-ordinator of Maths Week
You may have seen us feature in the Irish Times and some posts on Twitter. The children engaged really well with a mock budget exercise and the Minister for Finance spoke with the children. A valuable lesson came through that when increasing funding in one area it has to come from somewhere else.
