Castlebar Educate Together Board of Management are to meet Minister Norma Foley
A planned protest at Dáil Éireann by Castlebar Educate Together NS has been suspended by the school at the eleventh hour following an intervention from the office of Minister for Education, Norma Foley, TD. Staff, pupils and parents were to travel to Leinster House on May 21 as part of their campaign for a new school building that was promised by Minister Foley in 2022.
Mayo Dáil deputies, Minister Alan Dillon and Rose Conway Walsh, had pledged their support to the campaign and were to join the school lobby on the day.
Minister Dillon recently informed the school that Minister Foley has now agreed to meet a delegation from its board of management on May 29 in Leinster House. Commenting on the development, school principal Sarah Calvey said: “This is positive news, and we hope our meeting will progress our long campaign for suitable accommodation. We look forward to hearing the Minister’s plans for the delivery of the promise made to our parents and pupils in 2022.”
Castlebar Educate Together NS opened in Cavendish Lane in 2016 with 12 pupils and moved to Marsh House in Newtown in 2017, but as the pupil numbers continued to grow, it soon outgrew its original premises and has been renting a unit in the old Hat Factory for its junior and senior infant pupils.
