Senior Management

Deirdre Bourke, Principal

Welcome to Limerick Community Special School's website. I am honoured to be the Principal of Limerick Community Special School. I am enjoying with working with our exceptional staff and our supportive families to provide a connection and regulation first environment with meaningful learning experiences. Our new school community is growing into a vibrant, open and community-based school under our Goodness Me Goodness You Patron's Programme. We are very proud of our students and they teach us every day how talented they are.
I have previously worked in leading learning and teaching as a Special Class teacher, Special Needs Coordinator and Team Manager at the National Council of Special Education (NCSE). I hold a Masters in Management in Education as well as a postgraduate diploma in Special Education Needs.

Welcome to our website, and I hope you enjoy learning about the work we do in Limerick Community Special School. As an experienced special school teacher I am delighted to be leading learning and teaching in LCSS and to be working with the wonderful students, teachers and SNA's in Limerick Community Special School. We are very proud of the neuro-affirmative environment we are developing in our school and it is a true privilege getting to know all of the families in our school community.
