Parents to march in city over school facilities

TWO schools involved in separate, high-profile campaigns for better facilities have joined forces to end the new education minister’s honeymoon period.

Just days after his elevation to cabinet, Cork North West TD Batt O’Keeffe is facing a massive public protest in his own backyard from just two of dozens of primary schools fighting for new buildings.

Parents and children at Star of the Sea national school in Passage West plan to march through the city centre on Friday week in an escalation of their campaign.
