Community steps up battle to save school

A CO Limerick community has intensified its battle to save a secondary school under threat of closure.

Parents of the FJC convent school in Bruff have been told the school may close within three years. It has an enrolment of 268 boys and girls.

Declan Hehir, chairman of a school action committee, said a meeting will be convened on Monday night, in the local primary school, at which the community intend to lobby TDs.
