Response to recent developments in relation to AI-Generated nudification apps

In light of recent concerns highlighted in the media regarding the misuse of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) technologies to create non-consensual images, the department, in
collaboration with Webwise, published updated information and guidance for parents
and schools on the risks, harms and safeguarding issues associated with AI-generated
nudification apps on 9 January 2026. This resource is intended to support schools in
engaging with parents and students on these issues and forms part of the department’s
wider online safety and digital citizenship supports.
This new guidance is available at:

Official Opening of Scoil Bhríde’s Astro-Turf Pitch

Thursday, April 10th, was a truly memorable and joyful day at Scoil Bhríde as we celebrated the official opening of our brand new Astro-turf pitch. Under glorious sunshine, our Principal, Mr. Duffy, was joined by our eldest student, Cian Quinn, and our youngest student, Amir Ajani, to cut the ribbon and mark this special occasion.

We were honoured to welcome our guest of honour, Mrs. Fiona Brady, who was accompanied by her daughter, Ms. Ciara Brady, and granddaughter, Ríadh. Their presence made the day all the more special.

We also welcomed many local people and businesses who sponsored and supported the development. A heartfelt thank you again goes to all our generous sponsors and supporters. This project would not have been possible without you. Your contributions have helped turn a long-held dream into a vibrant reality for our school community.
