History

edit

Colaiste Mhichil was founded by Edmund Rice, a Christian Brother, to provide education for boys in Limerick city.[1] Their numbers having declined, the Christian Brothers no longer have day-to-day involvement in the administration of the school. Instead, a lay principal and board of management manage the school with the Christian Brothers remaining as trustees.

The school has been successful in soccer, having won the senior boys' FAI All Ireland soccer championship in 2007 and 2008. In 2012, the school were national runners-up, having lost the final to St Aidans, Cork.

Financier JP McManus, a past pupil of the school, has funded academic scholarships for a number of students each year going to third level.[2] This funding is separate from McManus' national scholarships.
