No windows as children go to school in warehouse

CHILDREN being taught in a warehouse with no windows and no playground are getting used to broken promises.

Gaelscoil Charman in Wexford, which has 200 pupils on its rolls, was promised a new building in the run-up to the last general election. Principal Aine Uí Ghionáin and parents at the all-Irish primary school, were told by then Education Minister Michael Woods that a new school building would be delivered this year.

Instead the school now operates out of a warehouse in Wexford Industrial Estate. The children have no playground and they are taught in makeshift classrooms with no windows and no natural light.
