Success for Whitechurch school campaign — at last

PUPILS, teachers and parents of a primary school in Cork are celebrating the start of building work on a new school after a decade-long campaign.

And their access to nearby sporting facilities are set to be the envy of schools around the country.

Main contractors Walls Ltd, from Dublin, have moved on site to begin the construction of a new 16-classroom school for the pupils of St Patrick’s NS in Whitechurch, on the outskirts of Cork city.
