Fine Gael questions location of VEC school

QUESTION marks have been raised by Fine Gael about the location of the country’s first primary school to be run by a Vocational Education Committee (VEC).

A September 2008 deadline had been set earlier this year by Education Minister Mary Hanafin for the proposed new school in Diswellstown, a rapidly growing community in the west of the county.

It was also intended that other VECs would follow the example set in the patronage model being designed there, to accommodate children of different faiths reflecting the changing population.
