- Published: 18 July 2010
A GROUP of parents in Ratoath, Co Meath, are pressing ahead with plans to establish a Gaelscoil in the town despite receiving no funding or recognition from the Department of Education and Science.
No Gaelscoil has received recognition since 2008, and the department has rejected all seven applications for recognition to commence made by Gaelscoileanna this year.
Gaelscoil Rath Tó plans to open in September and currently has 11 students registered to enter a junior infants class.
Some 30 students had been registered for this class before the department confirmed it would not grant the school recognition.
The school still has over 30 students registered for entry for every year from 2011 to 2014.
