George Cunningham, Roscrea's famed author, historian and bibliophile is former Principal of Coolderry NS

As part of biodiversity week the founding Principal of Coolderry Central School visited the school to talk about biodiversity and to present to each 6th class pupil a potted tree or plant.

Famed author, historian and bibliophile, George Cunningham, who also runs the Dimma's Bookstore in the Vincent's SVP shop in Roscrea, also presented each pupil with a copy of the Crann magazine and his famous book Burren Journey which has been translated into multiple languages and is widely considered the definitive book to accompany one on a trip to the karst landscape of the Burren.
