SEVEN Junior infant pupils have started school this week at Raferagh National School outside Carrickmacross, the largest number to start in the school in recent memory.
In any given year usually only between two or three pupils start at the school also known as Corcreagh NS which has served the local parish well for the past 118 years, and last year there were no children starting at the school.
Principal, Laurence Jones, told the Post. “I’m delighted to see seven new bright and cheerful faces in early September. It’s great for the school.”
