If you want a job done “write” then do it yourself is the mantra of Caherconlish National School pupils.
Many think young people have no interest in newspapers but this is open to correction. The Limerick Leader has some competition with the Caherconlish Times hitting newsagents’ shelves in recent weeks.
David Tynan, teacher, said the project was completely child led in its approach.
“It ended up snowballing into something that was a product of the children s own initiative and hard work. I don t know when the idea to print numerous copies of the paper came about but it s just something that when it was mentioned, we all thought ‘Yes, why not?’” said David.
