Parents fighting to beat minister’s deadline and keep 150–year–old secondary school open
Parents of pupils attending a 150-year-old secondary school in Kilkenny are scouting nine primary schools in their area for new recruits in the battle to save their school.
Education and Science Minster Noel Dempsey has given staff and parents at St Bridget's Secondary School in Goresbridge until Friday next to prove the case for the school to remain open. Otherwise, it will be phased out over the next two years.
