-----------------------------------
Since we posted about the protests this morning, it´s just been announced that a proposal to amalgamate two schools in Cork has been taken off the table for the time being.
The schools in question are the boys primary school Scoil Mhuire
Fatima North Monastery Primary School, known as North Mon and St
Vincents, a girls primary school. The Edmund Rice Schools Trust (ERST) issued a statement saying
"The school is of course for its pupils present and future and so the
opinions of parents, staff and others concerned is hugely important.
As Trustees, we have no wish to oppose the expressed will of those
for whom the school is a part of their lives. We are therefore
withdrawing this proposal for Scoil Mhuire Fatima at this time.
The Edmund Rice Schools Trust continues to be concerned about the
falling enrolment in Scoil Mhuire Fatima and the effect this will have
on the school."
