Two primary schools open

EDUCATE Together is to open two new primary schools in the next week.

Students will start their first day at school on Monday at Educate Together Portlaoise and on Wednesday at Holywell in Swords, Co Dublin.

Educate Together chief executive Paul Rowe said the schools had been established “in response to strong demand from local parents” over a number of years. “I would like to thank them all for the huge amount of hard work and dedication they each put into this project,” he said.
