C.L.A.R.E Public Meeting is a success

On the 1st March 2010, the C.L.A.R.E group held a public meeting at the Pavilion in Clare. The purpose of the meeting was to establish if the community still wanted secondary education in Clare and if so, who would be willing to join the board of trustees required to open a new school?

Clearly we do! An encouraging number of people have come forward as possible trustees and many more with offers of help and support. We shall be contacting them all individually within the week with an action plan.

The BBC's politics show arrived to film the meeting and gave the audience the opportunity to ask a question to Ed Balls, MP, Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families. The program is due to be televised this month.

Thank you to all those who were able to attend and to everyone for your continued support.
