Francie Molloy MLA accompanied Education Minister John O’Dowd to Saint Joseph’s Primary School in Galbally today for the announcement of an additional 8 new year 1 positions being approved for the 2013/14 school year.
Welcoming the decision, Francie Molloy MLA said,
“This is absolutely fantastic news for the local community and for the families and children in question. Sinn Féin stand up for rural communities and this rural proofing to ensure that local children were able to attend their local school is a good news story for Saint Joseph’s Primary in Galbally. We are delighted that in line with the open enrolment policy the additional 8 year 1 places have been approved and the families and children can now start preparing for starting school in September.”
