The consultation process was one of the best I’ve seen internationally.

[Professor Arlene Holmes-Henderson MBE @ProfArleneHH]

88 students took #Latin for the Leaving Cert in 2022, compared to 44 in 2021 & 53 in 2020. Not a decline but an impressive rise.

@AccessClassics, Aryn Penn & I have written a chapter on #Irish #Classics #education for the forthcoming @dg_classics @GramsciNetwork book.
