Three into one goes smoothly for Skibbereen schools

Yesterday, in the West Cork town of Skibbereen, the minister for education turned the sod on a new €9m project that, come May 2016, will see three post-primary schools become one.
There was even a slight touch of Oscar-style intrigue as minister Jan O’Sullivan was handed a golden envelope containing the name of the new school, which will amalgamate the existing Mercy Heights, St Fachtna’s De La Salle, and Rossa College schools.
