St Brendan’s new school building in Kerry is a long time coming but worth the wait

After a campaign that has spanned over two decades, children at a Co Kerry school have finally moved into their new building.

The campaign to build a new national school in Blennerville started back in 1996, but parents of children who attend the village school, on the outskirts of Tralee, are no strangers to protest.

Back in January 1961, they pulled their children out of the primary school because of poor toilet conditions.
