Armagh school facing axe next year after almost 300 years
Plus, man told care worker he was in court for attempted murder and that 'you're next'
The Drelincourt School – founded in Armagh almost 300 years ago – is being earmarked for closure.
The school, at Ballinahone Avenue, next to the Folly River, could cease operating at the end of the current school year in 2025.
At the same time, consideration could be given to using the building for special educational needs provision, if the closure is proceeded with.
A pre-publication consultation is currently underway, highlighted by the Education Authority. Read the full story here.
