Scoil an Ghleanna, a small national school in Kerry has decided to change from their Catholic patronage. The school hosts just 14 children, a third of whom are not Catholic. So, they've decided that this September they will transfer to a multi-denominational status.  Principal Sorcha Ni Chatháin, explained their decision. Seamus Conboy, Director of Schools in Education and Training Boards Ireland, also helped us understand the change.
