Our school community would like to congratulate Eddie Sheehy on his recent prestigious award – The Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty Humanitarian Award for 2026. Eddie’s commitment to education knows no bounds and we are fortunate to have his knowledge, expertise and insight on our school Board of Management. Eddie, a native of Castleisland, founded the Kenya Education Project in 2003 and has worked tirelessly to build educational pathways for children and young people in the village of Embulbul, Kenya. To date, this charity has helped hundreds of impoverished children finish their education and at times, find a safe place to live. The charity hosts a number of young teenagers in their hostel in recent years. We wish Eddie continued success and thank him for giving his time to our school.
