Wicklow), Jennifer Hutton (teacher at St. Fiacc’s National School, Graigecullen, Co. Carlow), Gemma Maher (Principal of Educate Together National School, Rathcoole, Co. Dublin) and Joe McAndrew (Retired Principal from Banagher National School, Co. Mayo) were awarded for the inspirational role they played in the lives of their students.
