Schools may sue State over broken promises

RUNDOWN schools may be able to sue the Government if there is evidence funding promises were broken, legal experts said yesterday.

Schools around the country have been asked to forward correspondence of any ‘good news’ letters from the Department of Education to a parents’ campaign group.

Tuismitheoirí le Chéile (TLC), set up to lobby for investment in schools, is considering taking the department and Education Minister Noel Dempsey to court to ensure any such agreements are honoured.
