"It became more than a project. It was something that took over me, day and night…"
The story...
Aiden takes us to Omagh in 1990. As Aiden woke he was full of nerves and excitement. Would everything go to plan? Would they all turn up? Would his dream finally come to life?

Comment: Aiden will be delighted to hear that 18 years later on 1st September 2008, instead of 32 pupils walking in through those same gates into that same courtyard, an amazing 320 pupils arrived for their first day of the new 2008 school year. What a success story! Congratulations to Aidan and the gang who launched the Omagh Integrated Primary School Project back in 1990.
Out of the primary school grew Drumragh Integrated College which today has an enrolment of 625. Within the next four years we are confident that we will be welcoming the 1000th student into the integrated movement in Omagh.
