Schools set to sue the State for its broken promises over buildings

SCHOOLS around the country are to sue the Government for its failure to deliver promised new or refurbished school buildings.

Parents campaign group Tuismitheoirí le Chéile (TLC) recently asked schools to compile letters received from the Department of Education over past years which indicated that funding was available to improve their premises.

A number of schools where the work has not yet been carried out have forwarded the correspondence to TLC to be assessed by their solicitors.
