School axe issue 'kicked down road'

THE Department of Education has been accused of “kicking the can down the road” over cash for a school facing closure.

- 

The Sacred Heart Junior School, in the Killinarden area of Tallaght, South Dublin, had said it will have to close because it can no longer afford to pay basic bills.

Principal Orla McLoughlin added it's “suffered massive under-funding for many years” due to cuts from the Dept of Education.
