Is there a "Frebel" college in Dublin?? (name not heard so clearly)

Question

A friend of mine was talking about where she studies in Dublin (to be a teacher) and the name of the college sounded like "Frebel" or "Freb"... is there anything like that?? We were actually talking in Irish so she said "coláiste frebel" but I don't think the pronunciation of the name would change. Any similarly sounding colleges appreciated!! :)

Answer 1

I don't know about Dublin specifically, but the spelling is Froebel, and there is an international society which may have the information:

http://www.intfroebelsoc.org/conferences...

Or for the UK:

http://www.froebel.org.uk/

I believe there's an article in Wikipedia as well.

Answer 2

Yes, there is a Froebel College of Education in Sion Hill, Dun Laoghaire, County Dublin.
