GARDAÍ are investigating a break-in at St Joseph’s Secondary School on the Newfoundwell Road (pictured).

The incident happened at around 8.30pm on Sunday, January 14th last. The front window of the office was smashed and entry to the premises was gained through it.

A substantial amount of damage was caused as a result of the break-in, however the door of the office was locked preventing the culprits from getting any further. There were no valuables or cash in the office and so nothing was taken from the premises.
