Moville principal breaks silence [inishowennews.com]

AN Inishowen principal has branded a Department of Education report into his school as a ‘waste of money’.
Headmaster of Scoil Eoghain in Moville, Gerard McGeehan, alleged that the report - which described the situation at the primary school as ‘seriously deficient’ and ‘untenable’ - was littered with inaccuracies.
He alleged he was being prevented from doing his job by the current Board of Management at the Moville school, which was officially opened by An Tanaiste Mary Coughlan last June.
“The report claimed that there was a lack of documentation but that is totally wrong because all my documents were stored in the old school in Moville, which I was locked out of,” Mr. McGeehan alleged. He claimed the chair of the board would not communicate with him.
“I was not consulted on recent appointments to the school; I can’t work there. A number of staff members have left Scoil Eoghain recently and the Department needs to investigate that.”
