A class act! – Three generations of the same family teach in rural Wexford school on same day
There was certainly evidence of that in Murrintown National School recently as three generations of the same family took classes on the same day in the same school.
For one special day, teacher Marie Monahan was joined by her mother, former Galbally NS principal Siobhán Doyle, and her daughter Caoimhe Monahan.
"I thought it was quite an unusual situation,' Murrintown NS principal John Colloton said. 'Siobhán had come in to do some subbing for us and Caoimhe is in college and she was in getting some experience as an EAL (English as an Additional Language) teacher before she goes off to America for the summer.'
It was a real family affair as Marie's two sons, Cuan and Conor, also attend the school and are in fourth and sixth class.
"It was quite unique,' John smiles. 'I think for Caoimhe, there was certainly no escaping it. Teaching is in the blood, having been handed down from Siobhán to Marie and now onto her.'
