Primary schools in appeal for help

LAST night’s Munster Convention heard a cry for help from the province’s primary schools games body, Cumann na mBunscol, for their support in the appointment of a servicing officer.

Chairman Tim O’Byrne from Waterford said they had been looking for assistance for the last few years and they were now the only educational body without such help.

In support of his case, he pointed out that from a stage where 200 games were organised in the first year of their establishment in 1971, in the past 12 months over 4,500 were played.
