Whitecross National School
Ref: Canvass for new school build
Dear Parents,
We ask for your support over the next 2 weeks to apply as much pressure as you can on our local TD,s to ensure that our school is included in the next list of new school builds to be announced soon.
Details below of the Fianna Fail TD's that you may wish to contact:
Thomas Byrne 041 9813520 email: thomasbyrneff@yahoo.com
Seamus Kirk 042 9331032 email: skirk@mail.com
Mary Wallace 01 8256259 email: mary.wallace@oireachtas.ie
Dermot Ahern 042 9329023 email: dermot@dermotahern.ie
When in contact with these TD's here are some key points to focus on:
Hygiene:
The fact that there are problems with rats and mice in the school, the situation with the boys and girls toilets, the fact that they are unhygienic and not suitable for our children and need to be re-built.
Cost of renting prefabs:
The fact that we, as taxpayers and Board of Management, are spending nearly ª75,000per year and that this is complete waste, building a new school would be self financing.
The situation outside the school- is an accident waiting to happen; re-building the school will allow us to redesign the area outside the front gate and solve this problem.
The Advice given to us is that the decision on our school will be made in the next TWO weeks unless we apply maximum pressure now, we may not get approval.
We know and appreciate the support that You the parents have always given to Whitecross.
What we ask today is
Together We CAN do this.
Andrew Lenehan,
