Comment: No significant coverage by reliable sources is found on school. PhantomVortex (Contact here) 10:19, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: The article improves - but a key thing missing is clarity on why the school is notable enough to have an article. The situation where every second-level school could qualify is long gone, and these are primary schools. Is the fire asserted as reason for notability? Something more would be ideal, perhaps to do with the order’s founder’s involvement. SeoR (talk) 01:54, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

Scoil Chaitríona Infants and Scoil Chaitríona Cailíní are primary schools sharing a campus in Artane, Dublin, Ireland. Both schools are often referred to as "St. Catherine's" by locals, and people also often confuse both schools as being one.
History
editThe Scoil Chaitríona schools were founded in 1960 and were originally run by the Sisters of Mercy. The ethos of both schools comes from Catherine McAuley, who founded the Mercy group in the early 1800s. McAuley's goal was to educate young people and help them become independent. In 1963, the Sisters of Mercy moved into Coolock House, which was converted into a convent. McAuley lived in Coolock House from 1809 to 1829.[1][2] Over time, the schools on the Scoil Chaitríona campustransitioned from being run by nuns to lay teachers. The campus later developed into separate schools, Scoil Chaitríona Infants[3] and Scoil Chaitríona Cailíní.[4]
2019 Scoil Chaitríona Cailíní fire
editIn the morning of October 16, 2019, Scoil Chaitríona Cailíní caught fire,[5][6][7] causing significant damage to classrooms and corridors. The fire also caused the roof of Scoil Chaitríona Cailíní to collapse. Garda Síochána and the Dublin Fire Brigade arrived and brought the fire under control, preventing it from spreading to Scoil Chaitríona Infants. Due to the fire, both Scoil Chaitríona Cailíní and Scoil Chaitríona Infants were temporarily closed for approximately two weeks.[8]
