The National Flag was delivered to our school by a member of the Defence Forces from Collins Barracks, Sgt. Denis McGarry on Wednesday 14th October. The flag was presented to the youngest children in the school, Junior Infant twins Alice and Ellen Lally, who received it on behalf of all the children and staff of the school. The Proclamation was read by Sgt. McGarry who spoke briefly on the origin of the state and the protocols for respecting the flag. It is intended that the school will retain the flag and display it prominently on ‘Proclamation day’, 15th March, 2015.
