Now, parents say that the school, which is run by principal Thomas Sharkey, is trying to deprive them of a voice on school governance by “re-constituting” the Board of Management. It did not specify that there would be one representative for each part of the school – the English-language main school and the Irish-speaking aonad.

Sharkey declined to comment when contacted by TheJournal.ie. The Louth and Meath Education and Training Board did not respond to a request for comment. Related Read 12.09.19 Parents threaten High Court action against school over reduction of subjects taught in Irish
