The Library CouncilFrom 1966, free education was made available to all Post-Primary students in Ireland. In 1972 the school ceased taking boarders. In the early 1970's a new senior school was built with a swimming pool and new sports fields laid out.
In 1975, Computer Science was introduced in the school. A computer was purchased (the third school in Ireland to do so) at the cost of £3000.
