The Capuchin Day Centre provide meals Monday to Saturday inclusive (including Bank Holidays). In addition to a designated family area where families can enjoy a nutritious meal in comfort and safety, The Capuchin Day Centre also provides children’s clothing, nappies, baby food and basic school essentials.
The Irish Traditional Music course students are alive with music, song and dance. Under their tutor, Mossie Martin, they are busy practising and arranging music and songs.
The Irish Traditional Music course is a full-time VTOS course that students participate in for two years (September – May), leading to a QQI Level 5 Music Award. The course is open to people of all ages and abilities (including complete beginners) playing all instruments.
