Admissions policy is a threat to five schools

I REFER to your report on the admissions policy of Gorey Community School in Co Wexford (Irish Examiner, March 4).

Admissions policy is a threat to five schools

Because of an overcrowding and accommodation problem, the Department of Education has decided to establish a catchment which excludes five national schools in Co Wexford - Coolgreany, Monaseed, Ballyfadd, Ballygarrett and Monamolin.

This catchment area was created in the 1950s but has not been implemented - so much so that the five affected schools assumed they were all part of the Gorey catchment area (as assumed by the school itself for three of the five of them).
