Tony Healy RIP

We remember and honour Tony Healy who sadly passed away on July 10th. As principal he  captained the ship of St. Oliver Plunketts for thirty years and was a true educational pioneer, growing the school in so many ways - particularly in the areas of special educational needs and music. He was the first principal nationally to set up the reading classes and to include children with additional needs in mainstream, in the true spirit of inclusion. Children were always at the center of every decision he made and it was his mission to also build the new school in order to provide the best possible environment for the children to flourish. He worked tirelessly in the background overseeing every detail and to the very end, well into his retirement helped to oversee the new building to its full completion. His legacy lives on in all who knew him and were inspired by him.

In the words of St. Paul to Timothy:  “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”
