The pupils overcame several false starts and production problems before hitting on the winning formula for their “Draíocht na Mara” soap. In all, the class generated total sales of €2,160 and a profit of €1,350. They repaid their parents’ association loan in full. Class teacher Niamh McCarthy said” “Every child in the class has blossomed and grown on this programme – children who aren’t suited to book learning, those who are highly academic, children who are very creative – there’s something for everyone, and it has been such a pleasure to watch them all flourish.”

Marie Lynch, the co-founder and managing director of the Junior Entrepreneur Programme, said the programme has become “a rite of passage for children in primary schools”.
