Educate D8 Community Meeting

Griffith Barracks MDS Principal Eddie Fox with Educatre D8 committee with local public represenatives Ian Nunoo, Darragh Moriarty, Lesley Byrne, Michael Pidgeon.

On 27th May 2025, the Educate D8 group held a very well attended community meeting in Griffith Barracks MDS, with local parents, community leaders and political representatives in attendance.

Dr. JoAnne Mancini from Maynooth University shared her very compelling research which highlights the discrimination prevalent in the provision of inclusive secondary education in Ireland, with Dublin 8 at a distinct disadvantage versus other areas. The group discussed the progress of the campaign to date, learnt some very valuable lessons from the Gaelcholáiste 2468 campaign and discussed the forward direction of the Educate D8 campaign with the wider group.

At the end of the meeting, attendees voted on the future direction they would like the campaign to focus on. Results of this and next steps will be shared soon.
