Christian Brothers School

Sean-o-riada

The Christian Brothers School, built of local limestone is situated on the Rathkeale Road. It was originally a Fever Hospital and later converted into a school. It was given to the Christian Brothers by the 3rd Earl of Dunraven in 1853 and has played a very important role in the education of the young boys of Adare and the region down through the years. The Christian Brothers have now departed the monastery but it continues to operate as a national school. A former pupil, Sean O’Riada, composer, contributed to the revival of Irish music. He lived part of his formative years in Adare.
