Irish School Under Consideration
Monday, 25 January 2010 12:26 Minister for Food & Horticulture and local T.D.,Trevor Sargent, has requested his government colleague, Mr Batt O’Keeffe, T.D., Minister for Education and Science, to assist with the provision of a new Irish language post-primary school in North County Dublin to reflect the number of Irish language medium primary schools now operating in the area. Commenting on O’Keeffe’s intention to consider a new Irish school in the area, Sargent said, “the success of Irish language schools in the area and the clear demand from parents for their children to be educated through the medium of Irish, points to the need for a post-primary secondary school. This is not just for the primary schools in North County Dublin, but also for nearby schools, such as the Irish language medium primary school in Drogheda.” |
