Information and advice is provided and assistance given in organising public meetings and in compiling information to set up an all-Irish School. Irish is the language of instruction in these schools and the language of communication amongst teachers, children and management. A high educational standard exists in all subjects, including English, and the usual programme set out by the Department of Education and Science is followed. Irish is the living language of Irish-medium schools, both within the classroom and without.
All pupils are welcome in Irish-medium schools regardless of linguistic background.
Parents play a major role in the organisation of these schools.
