This reduces the cost to children and enables the Bunscoil a wider choice of venue or activity when choosing where will best enhance the children’s learning. Recent purchases have included an Apple TV for use with the Bunscoil iPads, digital cameras, outdoor storage facility, hurley/camogie equipment and the purchase of the Bunscoil Gaelic football teams’ kit.
