History
Notre Dame was established in 1953 by the Notre Dame des Missions Sisters.[2] The Notre Dame des Missions Sisters decided to exit the education sector in Ireland in the early 2000s, and they passed the operation of the school to the Notre Dame Schools Trust Ltd. The school was closed in June 2019 due to financial difficulties.[3][4]
Operations
Annual school fees in 2015 were around €4,300 per annum.[5][6]
