Please contact the Project Leader to discuss referrals if you are unsure of the referral process or criteria for referral. Referral to the Project does not guarantee a place due to the demand for places and the limited number of places available
Children can be referred to the project if they are living in the area from Infirmary Rd, NCR, Queen Street, Benburb Street, Arbour Hill, Stoneybatter and all the streets within these boundaries. Children may also attend one of the local schools:
