School under-resourced, children suffering 2005-07-01

G aelscoil Cholmcille has been in temporary accommodation in a football club in Santry in North Dublin for the last nine years because the much-promised primary school has never been built. The rooms in this club are very small and each year the classes get bigger which results in chronic overcrowding. It is impossible for two adults to walk past each other in the very narrow corridor upstairs without bumping into one another. Recent hearing tests for the children had to be carried out in this corridor as there simply was no room available in the building.
