Dunshaughlin Parents Take Campaign for School Places to Dáil Again, As Debacle Continues - 12/05/2026
from The Agenda
Parents in Dunshaughlin say they’re being left with no choice but to bring their campaign for more gaelscoil places to the Dáil, yet again.This follows a parents' meeting held in the Pastoral Centre in Dunshaughlin last Tuesday and is prompted by the lack of response from the Education Minister Hildegarde Naughton to their appeals for extra places to be provided in Gaelscoil na Ríthe. Families are calling for a second junior infants class at Gaelscoil na Ríthe, arguing that demand for Irish-language education in the area is far outstripping the places available.Campaigners say they’ve repeatedly contacted Education Minister Hildegarde Naughton but have yet to receive a response, despite a letter signed by 22 parents being sent several weeks ago.Over the past number of months we have spoken to campaigner Aine McKenna various times about this… Yet still, she is without a school place. Aine joined us on The Agenda again this morning to give us all the latest on this. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
