Dublin school risks closure from financial crisis

Sacred Heart Junior School in Dublin faces closure due to a severe financial crisis. The principal stated the school cannot pay basic bills starting April 1, citing years of underfunding from the Department of Education. In a letter to parents, Principal Orla McLoughlin warned that the school would have to switch to remote teaching without emergency funding. Local politician Paul Murphy criticized the government for prioritizing military spending over school funding. The Department of Education acknowledged the situation and expressed commitment to support the school. However, it requires more information before providing assistance.
