Fiona Ní Chléirigh is on the teaching staff here in Gaelscoil Thaobh na Coille since September 2003. Having previously taught in Kilcoole and in Tallaght. After many years of teaching Fiona has decided it is time for her to retire and she intends doing so at the end of this month.

Fiona is passionate about the Irish language, music, Irish culture & heritage and education. As a person Fiona has an incredible amount of energy and an indomitable spirit and she will be a great loss not only to us here in Gaelscoil Thaobh na Coille but to the education system in general.

I’m sure those of you whose children have been taught by Fiona will agree with me when I say that she has always given 100% to the children under her care and that their individual welfare, education and personal development has always been her priority.

We thank her from the bottom of our hearts for all that she has done here over the years. We will miss her greatly on the school staff here but we wish her all the best and great happiness for the many exciting and eventful years that lie ahead.

Go raibh maith agat a Fhiona
