Sherlock insists new school is on the way

Junior Minister Seán Sherlock remains confident a new school will be built in his constituency, despite a local action group’s claims it has not been notified of the latest developments in a long-running saga.

His comments come on foot of complaints from Gaelscoil De Híde New School Action Group in Fermoy, Co Cork.

The group yesterday said it was still awaiting confirmation the Department of the Environment had transferred a site to the Department of Education, as reported last week.
