FEARS FOR 26 GAELTACHT SCHOOLS IN GALWAY
Date Published: 15-Dec-2011
The future of 26 gaeltacht schools in Galway is now under threat due to cutbacks in education.
That's according to Galway West Sinn Féin Senator, Trevor Ó Clochartaigh, who says the government is attacking small rural schools.
There are concerns that plans to amalgamate schools where there are four teachers or less could have serious implications for rural communities.
Speaking to Galway Bay FM News, Senator Ó Clochartaigh says this would have a serious impact on rural society and the local economy in Galway
