School attacks Ahern over funds ‘waffle’

THE school where children are being taught in a converted toilet hit back at the Taoiseach last night after he suggested it had not availed of funding.

Glenville National School in Co Cork accused Bertie Ahern of waffling. Its board of management said if the Government simply gave them the €1.2 million needed to build the school that was promised 10 years ago, they could have it built themselves within two years.

The Irish Examiner highlighted the school’s plight on Wednesday.
