Gortahork school gets red card
There has been huge disappointment in Gortahork after planning permission from a local primary school was turned down.
The site for the school, which was to house five classrooms on the outskirts of the town, was acquired a number of years ago by the Department of Education.
However Donegal County Council turned down the application on a number of grounds including the fact that it was located beside a busy road.
The 100 pupil school is currently located in a building constructed in 1929.
Chairperson of the Board of Management, Fr.Sean O’Gallachoir, said parents were very disappointed at the decision and said the current school location is more of a traffic hazard.
