After visiting the new building, Minister Harris and An Taoiseach met with students from the school and had a questions and answers session, where students had the opportunity to raise any questions or concerns they had.

“I am delighted that the Government has been able to deliver such an incredible school right here in the heart of Greystones.”

“I am proud to say I am a past pupil of St. David’s and today saw that the school is still raising bright young students, as during our questions and answers session the students put a number of very well-thought-out questions to the Taoiseach and I.”

“This afternoon was a great opportunity for the Taoiseach to hear about and listen to the concerns of County Wicklow’s young people, and I want to thank Principal Simon Carey and the staff at St. David’s for making it possible for us to visit them here today.”
