National Parents’ Council
Many primary schools in the Gorey area are affiliated to the National Parents’ Council (NPC) and affiliation fees are paid annually.
However, there is no representative for the NPC based in Wexford so the funds collected are not fully used and allocated for use by the schools in this county.
A letter has been sent to all schools to invite representatives to come to a meeting today, Wednesday March 3, in the Ashdown Park Hotel.
The NPC are therefore anxious to see if there would be sufficient people interested in setting up a county branch.
