Angry parents protest at 10-year wait for school

HUNDREDS of angry parents, pupils and teachers have protested at an unfulfilled promise made 10 years ago to provide a new school in Co Cork.

Exasperated by cramped conditions at Ballygarvan National School, they protested in support of 48 local children who will have to seek places elsewhere next year.

They are demanding that ex-education minister Micheál Martin fulfil a promise made in 1998 about the development of a new school.
