Patron body argues number of Irish-medium schools in Galway not meeting demand

Galway Bay fm newsroom - The number of primary and secondary Irish-medium schools in Galway is not enough to meet the demand.

That's according to Caoimhín Ó hEaghra of the all-Irish primary schools patron body - An Foras Pátrúnachta - who says there is just 10 Gaelscoileanna and two Gaelcholáistí in Galway outside the Gaeltacht area.

He says one in four parents want an Irish-medium education for their children but supply is not satisfying demand.
