Sacked school principal to seek reinstatement

A PRIMARY school principal sacked last month after a row over religious education is to seek reinstatement and compensation.

Tomás Ó Dúlaing was dismissed from Gaelscoil Thulach na nÓg in Dunboyne, Co Meath, after a disciplinary hearing into his conduct.

The dispute began after Mr Ó Dúlaing said he wanted to take Catholic pupils for First Communion preparation outside school hours.
