Currane National School closes.
I suppose it was inevitable, there have been rumours for the last few years, but it’s very sad news all the same. For the community and for all of the alumni. So soon after the Centenary too. Here’s the story from the Mayo News.
Is Currane National School Closing?
I heard a rumour that it was. In fact, last week I was told that it actually had. The summer holidays have started so it’s hard to tell. I don’t have children attending the school either. This seemed so sad to me as I’m pretty sure it celebrates it’s centenary this year. The rumour was that the school was being merged with Tonragee National School and that pupils would travel there to be educated. No one I spoke to seemed to know for sure. I checked all of the local press and looked online but could find nothing to tell me that the school was closed.
I decided to go straight to the ‘horses mouth’ and ask the Department of Education. I’m impressed that they even replied to my email to be honest. Anyway, they’ve confirmed that the school hasn’t closed. Of course, this doesn’t mean that it won’t at some point in the future.
I’m so pleased to hear this. I know this is a ‘non-news’ story but no news is good news sometimes and it’s better to know, rather than listen to rumour.
This is what the School Capital Appraisal Section, Department of Education and Skills had to say;
I refer to you email below regarding Currane NS, Gob a Choire, Achill, Co Mayo.
I can confirm that this school is still open, the enrolment was 11 in 2012. The staffing was Principal only.
I hope this information is of assistance to you.
So, there we are. I’m glad I asked.

Power Cut 29/3/2011
There was a power cut yesterday (29th March) in Currane. We were without electricity for approx. 5 hours. (6.30am – 11.30am). We have no idea why. We’d love to know, leave us a comment if you do. There was no wind and certainly it wasn’t a lightning strike. I think the area affected went as far as Polranny. I thought it would be interesting to make a note of it here so that we have a record of how often this happens over the years.
