Dr. Martin Gormley:

The schools I referred to linked with Letterkenny, a major town that attracts larger companies. It would be nearly impossible for a local school in a rural area to do that. There is so much work principals, schools and school leadership have to do. A school should not have to go out begging and borrowing to try to get resources by means of a private partnership approach. There is an onus on the Department of Education to ensure that schools are fully funded to provide the curriculum.
