Angry parents protest against loss of up to 13 teachers

ANGRY parents have gathered in protest outside a primary school to voice their opposition to proposed cuts which could see the loss of up to 13 teachers at the school.

Up to 80 worried mothers and fathers protested yesterday at Scoil Íosagáin, Farranree, on the northside of Cork City, at the cutbacks announced in the budget.

Aidan Brady from Fairhill, whose son Alex, 12, is in fifth class, said any reduction in teacher numbers would have a detrimental effect on education.
