Children in limbo over school places

ALMOST 30 Limerick children still have no school to attend next September just six weeks before finishing their primary education.

Although 24 pupils who were in a similar position have secured a second-level place in the last fortnight, time is running out for the 29 remaining children.

Most of them are boys from disadvantaged areas of the city, which has led to accusations of social bias being levelled against some local schools.
