The school is the first Irish language in the northern part of Fingal and due to its success, has given encouragement to interested parties from other towns in Fingal. The Gaelscoil committee was formed in the spring of 2005 with the task of raising funds, registering prospective pupils and applying to the Department of Science & Education for official recognition.
