"Leaba Sonny", to the rear of the hall, named after the owner of the land on which the gaelscoil now stands. The green item to the left is a compost bin. 

--------------------

The compost bin is fed left over fruit, fruit skins, tea-bags, etc., and will eventually produce brown, crumbly, soil-enriching compost for use in the garden.

The dreary boundary wall separating the Gaelscoil and the adjacent Government Buildings.  

The plan is to paint the wall, add a trellis or guide wires to the timberwork and train creeping plants on this - Wisteria ?, Clematis ?, etc.
