Planning bid to be made for Fermoy school

A long-running battle for a new gaelscoil building in a North Cork town seems to be nearing an end.

A planning application will be lodged with the local authority shortly, it was claimed yesterday.

The Gaelscoil de hÍde New School Action Group welcomed reports a project manager had been appointed by the Department of Education to progress the architectural design of the 24-classroom school, to be built at Duntahane Rd, Fermoy.
