Educate Together secondary school welcomed
It is one of two patrons selected to open two new second-level schools in Carrigaline in 2016 after Education Minister Ruairi Quinn decided it and the Edmund Rice Schools Trust should run them. Each will have capacity for up to 600 students.
Niall Wall, the multi-denominational schools body’s regional development officer for Ireland South, said it is high time parents in Cork had the option of an Educate Together second-level school, as it already has five thriving primary schools in the county.
