JP McManus: doing more for education in Limerick than the Government
JP McManus has been splashing out to help educate the kids of Limerick in areas where the Government can’t be arsed.
In the first of his gestures reported this week, he has assisted in the provision of a mini bus for the kids on the Northside Learning Hub, a project which encourages children to stay in school rather than leave early.
One of the first groups to use the new mini bus were the Corpus Christi school Under 13s Gaelic Football team.
In another donation, Mr. McManaus purchased new electronic whiteboards for the Rosbrein School for the hearing impaired. The boards were initially requested by the school from the Department of Education, but they were refused.
Now all five classrooms of the 28 pupil school have an electronic board each. The boards cost €5,000 a piece.
These will be a great advantage for the students as, having little or no hearing, they depend more on visual stimulation than those of us who are able to hear.
