Enrolments surpass peak last seen prior to the economic crash in 2008

Among boarding schools, St Columba’s was also the most expensive for seven-day boarding ; followed by Clongowes Wood College, Co Kildare ; Rathdown School, Glenageary and Glenstal Abbey, Co Limerick . Sinn Féin and Labour have pledged to end State subsidies for the State’s 50 fee-charging schools, which amounted to more than €100 million a year.
