Amalgamate ‘or disappear’

A CONTROVERSIAL plan to amalgamate two of Cork City’s best-known schools must go ahead, despite opposition from teachers and parents, the Bishop of Cork and Ross has told the Irish Examiner.

In line with the merger plans, two schools with cherished traditions North Monastery CBS and

St Finbarr's College, Farranferris will disappear and be replaced by a new state-of-the-art Catholic voluntary secondary school for boys.
