Coláiste Feirste

Coláiste Feirste is the only secondary-level Irish-medium school in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Previously known as Méanscoil Feirste, the gaelscoil is located in the west of the city in a new facility on Belfast's Falls Road. Founded in 1991 with just nine pupils, today the school has 530 pupils and 47 teachers.[1]

The school was first situated in the Cultúrlann and was opened under the care of the first school principal Fergus O'Hare who was replaced in 2002 by Garai Mac Roibeaird as principal.[citation needed] He was then replaced by Micheal Mac Giolla Ghunna, the current principal. The school's uniform consists of a distinctive green blazer, jumper, and green skirt (for girls). The school is now situated in Beechmount.
