St. Fachtna's De Le Salle is a secondary school in Skibereen, West Cork. The school currently is all-male, catering for over 300 students from the local area and surrounding towns.

[edit] History

The school was set up as a primary school during the 1800s by The De La Salle Christian Brothers order. The school was briefly used as a prison during the 1920s during the civil war. In the late 1990s, the school became independent of The Chrisian Brothers.
