Scoil Chríost Rí is one of the eight Primary schools in Ennis which is involved in
the Ennis Primary Schools Integration Project. Our school is equipped with a Computer lab
consisting of 25 networked PCs, data projector, scanner, digital camera and printers. In
addition each classroom is equipped with at least one PC which is also networked. All
children in the school have access to both the computer lab and a PC in the classroom. In
