Hi
I have an 11 year old boy interested in joining a chess club.
Does your club take juniors or do you know of a South Dublin City club suitable for juniors?

Hi Ken –
I wouldn’t recommend our club for an eleven year old. Rathmines do accept players at all levels, but actually consists primarily of adult players. We have had young players in the past, so you’d be welcome to attend.
Best places for juniors are clubs like Gonzaga or St Benildus.
A good place to start is to look up http://www.icu.ie/juniors/index.php – the Irish chess union can suggest a good club.
