Being taught in corridors and store rooms is the stark reality for students of Scoil Mhuire Milford.
The current school building was built in the 1950s and is in a state of deterioration.
There’s also serious road safety concerns over the location of the school with a number of collisions there over the years.
A campaign for a new school building is underway.
Louise McLaron, of the Milford Parents Association told the Nine til Noon Show that staff and students are having to endure cramped conditions daily:
Fr Stephen Gorman, is Chair of the Board of Management at Scoil Mhuire Milford, he’s confirmed a parcel of land has been gifted to the school for the development of a new building.
However, he says there doesn’t appear to be any appetite from the Department of Education to progress plans:
Agriculture, Food and the Marine Minister Charlie McConalogue has agreed to meet with representatives tomorrow.
