Great News

in Ireland, Personal

I’ve been a bad, bad blogger (I blame twitter!) but I just got some excellent news. I posted here about the project I was involved in to try and get an Educate Together school in our town. Well, the application that we made back in January has finally made its way through all the red tape and the Department of Education has today given us the go ahead and sanctioned our school!

There are a lot of people who have put a huge amount of time, work and energy into this and, although we still have a lot to do before the doors open in September, this is a day to pop the champagne corks. Well done everyone!

in a proper building?

gingerpixel April 30, 2008 at 5:20 pm

It will probably be temporary accommodation for now Steve, but we’re hoping it won’t be long before we have the permanent classrooms.

It will be temporary… prefabs.
