Gaelscoil to aim for charts with protest

PUPILS are using the power of song to shame Education Minister Batt O’Keeffe into giving them a permanent school.

They hope getting their song, Cá Bhfuil Ár Scoil?, to number one in the Irish charts next week will end their nightmare of stinking toilets and dead mice.

Principal of Dublin school Gaelscoil Bharra, Seán Ó Donaile, said the Department of Education had wasted €1.5 million on renting the 14-year-old prefabs instead of investing the money in a new school.
