Massive thanks to @OceanFmIreland & @OceanNWT for covering our story this morning as their main story.
Great to get a platform to speak out on behalf of the parents and children for our local area.

@jemma_dolan @Education_NI @CllrFeely @BroughCurrie @J_F_belleek @FermanaghSF @sinnfeinireland @peterweirmla We note from @peterweirmla response to you that his "prime consideration is the educational well-being of the pupils"
Considering this appalling behavior from @Education_NI is this something he endorses??

@jemma_dolan @Education_NI @CllrFeely @BroughCurrie @J_F_belleek @FermanaghSF @sinnfeinireland Thank u @jemma_dolan Can you also raise with @peterweirmla that parents are being contacted by an official from @Education_NI during evenings, harassing parents to choose a different school. Parents & children feeling very intimidated and distressed with children left in tears.

The aftermath within the rural area of West Fermanagh after Minister's Weir announcement last Monday to approve closure of St Marys. This appalling decision made in the middle of a worldwide pandemic adding to the mental health & well-being issues

@shellesmccauley @impartialrep Rural communities being ripped apart by statutory bodies making decisions over 100 miles away. No rural regeneration for our local community @InfoCcms @Education_NI @Ed_Authority

🏫 ST MARY'S BROLLAGH 🏫

I've spent the last couple of days listening to parents & others about the disappointing decision from Peter Weir.

Parents & the community are continuing to fight for their local school & I'll continue to stand with them.

negative impact of covid-19 on young peoples mental health and wellbeing.
Our Peace IV project is an opportunity to enhance this very message, something that we have put across strongly to the minister @ciaran_fla @FermanaghJulian @5imonDoyl3 @ClaireMcBelfast @CllrAdamGannon

@FermanaghMatte1 @iamdylanquinn @rodneyedwards @Ferm_Herald @impartialrep You will also notice that majority of not all these schools are currently CCMS schools that are looking to move to Integrated.
Since 2008 CCMS has attempted to close us on 4 occasions. Not once have they ever offer a positive alternative to threat of closure!

Great protest this afternoon at Townhall Enniskillen from the parents action group. Councillors from FODC met with CCMS representatives. Message was loud and clear, POST PRIMARY EDUCATION MUST BE RETAINED IN WEST FERMANAGH!! @rodneyedwards @Ferm_Herald @impartialrep
