No movement on nursery
THERE’S no sign of Iveagh Primary School getting a nursery unit as the Southern Education Board reiterated its position on the development.

Group members reiterated their previous view that there was not a need for the establishment of a unit at the school.

Members said the position would be kept under review particularly whenever reception ceased to be available.
The principal had expressed an interest in attending a group meeting but members indicated this was not normal practise.
