Parents take fight for Cork school to streets

PARENTS who have been campaigning for almost 20 years for a permanent new school for their children are taking their fight to the streets.

The parents’ association and teachers of Gaelscoil an Ghoirt Alainn on Cork’s northside are planning a major rally in the city centre next Saturday to press the Government to deliver the project.

“We want to highlight the conditions the children are being taught in, and the conditions the teachers have to work in — they are scandalous really in this day and age,” committee spokesman John McLoughlin said.
