It is with extreme sadness that we share the news of former teacher Eugene Dunleavy’s passing. Eugene was a respected and loved friend and colleague who will be missed greatly by all of us in the Bish community.

Still remote working but had to go into the

Remembering Dad today with joyful memories, on 1st anniversary of his death. Special candle lighting for him. Thanks to all who have been so supportive in helping us navigate this first surreal year without him. Pls raise a toast to him today. Always in our thoughts

My child is self-isolating today for his birthday 😢🎂. 5 of 7 of our small immediate & extended family affected; one in UCGH very ill; thanks for staff there doing amazing work. Nightmare. Keep safe and mind your loved ones. Follow the restrictions and rules.
Despite all best efforts to protect him, we couldn’t get Dad to this stage (he passed, from COVID, 3 months ago). But today Mum had her second jab. So delighted and relieved. (Choc 🍫 to celebrate from

My Dad died of COVID last week. When he was in HDU in hospital, there was a 16-year-old also in there , in ICU with C-19. So, no, I wouldn’t advise teenagers’ meet-up.
