A call has been issued for the old Greyhound Track in Harold's Cross, Dublin, to be transformed into a new Gaelcholáiste.

Sinn Féin is leading the charge as part of its #Gaelcholáiste4All campaign.

Local councillor Chris Andrews, a parent whose children went through Gaeloideachas, has reiterated the party's call for more Irish Medium Education.

Councillor Andrews said: "In a fast-changing world, holding onto our language and culture is important. Bilingualism also provides great platform to learn other languages.

"The new school in Harold's Cross should be a Gaelscoil and would be a great addition to a flourishing Irish Language community with three Bunscoils already in the catchment area."
