Glanmire wait on gaelscoil

PRETTY Éabha Ní Bhrádaigh was among those waiting for the Government last night to sanction a gaelscoil in a growing Cork suburb.

Éabha, aged four, is one of more than 20 children who hope to attend Junior Infants in the new Gaelscoil Uí Drisceoil, scheduled to open in Glanmire’s Old Christian’s rugby club this September.

The Department of Education is expected to announce within days which new primary schools have received ‘official recognition’ ensuring they get State funding.
