Belfast: Irish school plan causing ‘volatility’, says loyalist

Scoil na Seolta also plans to develop a soft play area and some parking at the temporary site.

According to the school’s board, it has had expressions of interest from over 100 families to send their children to the school.

Nine letters of support were received by Belfast City Council in support of the school’s temporary site, and two objections.

The objections said that use of the school of the land on Montgomery Road was “incompatible” and would lead to “loss of employment land.”

But council officials said that “given the size of the site, the proposal will not adversely affect the city’s overall capacity to meet future demand for employment land.”

After the meeting with Mr Givan in September, the LCC released a statement in which it said that it “advised the Minister that the proposal to build an Irish language school in the mainly unionist area of east Belfast should be stopped” and that it had “no meaningful support from the local unionist and loyalist population.”

According to the DE note “educational underachievement in north and west Belfast,” absenteeism in schools and “the Labour Party election manifesto commitment to provide a mental health worker for every school” were also discussed by the LCC and the Minister.
