As part of Autism Awareness Month we meet a special dog at Loreto Senior Primary in Crumlin. The school is taking part in the "Raise the Dough" campaign to help provide Autism Assistance Dogs for other schools. So, Florence popped in to see how they were getting on with their new furry friend!
Over 200 pupils from three primary schools in Co Mayo have come together to promote traditional Irish music as part of a two-year creative project.
The event took place in Ballina under a Department of Education initiative. Applications for funding are open to all schools. Teresa Mannion has the report.
