Two natives of Castleisland were among over sixty teachers who retired between 2020 and 2023 and who were honoured by the Limerick City branch of the Irish National Teachers Organisation recently.
INTO President John Driscoll and P S Ó Conaill, President of the Retired Teachers Association, travelled to Limerick for the occasion.
Due to Covid restrictions, there were no retirement celebrations in 2020, 2021 or 2022. This accounts for the unusually large number of retirees honoured this year.
