Students Speak Out: Mercy Convent Primary School In Naas Gets Set To Take Fight For New Building To Leinster House

It has been held up for years due to a dispute between the Department of Education and a builder, with €350,000 being spent on on security fees.

A delegation from the Mercy Convent Primary School in Naas are descending on Leinster House tomorrow to hand deliver letters urging the Education Minister to prioritise the completion of their new school building.

It has been held up for years due to a dispute between the Department of Education and a builder, with €350,000 being spent annually on security fees.

Up to 60 students have been forced to share three toilets, with no PE Hall.

The staff room is also being used as a utility room.

Assistant Principal Brian Corkery told Kildare Today that over 500 students will pen letters to Education Minister Norma Foley.
