Following the decision by the Department of Education to cut the number of teachers by two immediately at Gaelscoil Chnoc na Re in Ballydoogan, Sligo Borough Council were told that the ratio of pupils to teachers could dramatically dis-improve if staff numbers are cut later this month due to budget cutbacks.
Council members decided unanimously to back an all-party approach formulated at a meeting earlier on Monday between the school and public representatives, local and national.
There are 177 pupils enrolled and speakers variously told the Council meeting 181 or 183 pupils would be needed to retain two additional teachers in post at the end of month.
