Is Gaelscoil Mhachan a good school?

How many pupils does Gaelscoil Mhachan have?
139 pupils in 2025/26. That is −24% since 2019/20.
Does Gaelscoil Mhachan teach through Irish?
Yes: every subject at Gaelscoil Mhachan is taught through Irish.
Who runs Gaelscoil Mhachan?
Gaelscoil Mhachan has a Catholic ethos. Its patron is Bishop of Cork & Ross.
How do pupils get a place at Gaelscoil Mhachan?
Apply to the school directly. It publishes an admission policy and a yearly admission notice with its dates; if more children apply than it has places, it admits on the criteria in its policy.
