New Schools Opening
By 1887 Dick's Charity School and Coolock Parish School closed. Pupils from both of these schools transferred to Raheny Schools.
By this time many places across the country began applying to set up schools under the National School System. The photographs below show two national schools that opened around this time.

A new school was built in 1962. This building is now used for community purposes. The windows and heating are new.
