A local parish priest has hit out at the body responsible for Catholic schools in Northern Ireland as it goes forward with a proposal to close a Co Tyrone primary school.
Fivemiletown priest Father Brendan Gallagher has criticised the proposal by the Council for Catholic Maintained Schools to close St Mary’s PS, which has 43 pupils and three classrooms.
The ultimate decision on whether to close the school will be taken by a Stormon Education Minister, or in the absence of an Executive, a Permanent Secretary.
