It’s back to school season in schools around the country.  In the Church of Ireland Diocese of Cork, Cloyne and Ross there are 20 primary schools and 3 second level schools. For one granny – Elsie Gash from Nohoval Parish – it was an exciting and busy day as she was on hand to be with her 10 grandchildren, all of whom were starting the school year at St Multose National School, Kinsale, County Cork.  With one starting and one going to sixth class it will be the one year all Elsie’s grandchildren will be together in the same primary school.
