Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Irish English Шаблон:Infobox school Шаблон:Lang was a Catholic Шаблон:Lang (Irish language secondary school) in Ballyvourney, County Cork, Ireland. The school was built in phases in the 1930s.[1]

The boarding school was opened on 4 July 1940[2] by the De La Salle Brothers as a preparatory school, i.e. a secondary school to prepare pupils to become Irish language primary school teachers. Located in the Muskerry Gaeltacht, its admission criteria prioritised Irish speakers, especially native speakers.[3]

Closure

The school closed in 1989 and was amalgamated with nearby Gairmscoil Ghobnatan (opened in 1950) to form Colaiste Ghobnatan.[4]

The building fell into decay. It was purchased in 1998 for IR£215,000 by Údarás na Gaeltachta.[5] Several plans were made for new uses of the site, but all fell through, including a 1999 plan for a £1.5m national all-Irish education facility for which education minister Michael Woods turned the sod in 1999.[5] An industrial estate was built on the former playing field.[2]

Renovations began in late 2022, and in April 2023 Údarás na Gaeltachta announced that part of the building would become a ‘Gteic’ regional digital hub with offices and hot-desk facilities. [6] This hub is the first step in a plan which is proposed to include a training base, exhibition hall and offices for agencies such as Údarás na Gaeltachta itself and local community organisations.[7]
