Primary school rises from ashes

CHILDREN attending a primary school severely damaged by an arson attack were celebrating yesterday after it rose from the ashes.

And fire brigade crews joined with pupils and staff at the Convent Primary School in Mallow, Co Cork for the opening of a rebuilt section of the school which is understood to have cost about €200,000 to repair.

Acting station officer in Mallow, Mick Carroll cut the tape in recognition of the efforts by the fire services to save part of the building.
