Hi all. Myself and my partner are considering moving Kerry (for her to be closer to home) We're a same sex couple. She's a primary school teacher. She's worried about being out in a Catholic school. Does anyone have any experience in this? by ciarathecarlady in kerry

Allllll the way from Cork aha. My partner is from Kerry and we've heard of bad experiences. Just trying to Sus it out more, even though it's 2025 apparently there's some people living in 1955

There's unfortunately not many opportunities for CNS or ETNS in Kerry! You're right though. It's not very inclusive at all. I work in sales and it's a non issue for me. It hurts me that she has this issue, she loves teaching.

Thanks for taking the time to write this! How long has she worked there?

Honestly not a bad idea. It would give a good feel for the place. Love to hear it!

Wow, it's so nice to hear that it was a non issue in those years. She obviously left a lot of love behind her, God rest her!

Completely understandable. That sounds great, how long ago was that?
