Ranking schools based on how many students went on to third level is a warped view of education.
The best schools in Ireland are those which unlock & nurture the potential of their students.

Most people in Ireland are kind and decent, and do not like kicking someone when they're down.
The writing is on the wall for this government, even the Taoiseach can see that.
They’re failing on so many fronts. In housing, health, climate - the list goes on and on and on.
A new Fine Gael Taoiseach isn’t going to fix that. We need a new government. We need an election.
