The Minister for Lifelong Learning, Seán Haughey TD, today returned to his Alma mater, St Paul’s College, Sybil Hill, Raheny on Dublin's northside to open four newly refurbished science laboratories.
The newly state of the art science facilities are the result of an investment by the Government of more than €440,000 under the Department's Summer Works Scheme.
Speaking to a specially invited audience, Minister Haughey said 'I am delighted to be back here in St. Paul's this evening to open the newly refurbished and upgraded science laboratories.'
'I remember with fondness my time here at St.Paul's where my two brothers also attended.'
'The new laboratories will be of enormous benefit and bolster the delivery of the school's science curriculum for its 600 students.'
'Particularly in these difficult economic times, we must continue to ensure a steady supply of science graduates.'
'St Paul's is a very caring school, something I remember only too well, that develops students in a holistic way in the true traditions of the Vincentians and has always promoted practical education among its students.'
'These new laboratories will help the school to build on that record and prepare the generations ahead for the challenges of the smart economy,’ said Minister Haughey.
