Dublin 15 Green Party representative, Roderic O’Gorman has welcomed the election of Green Party Fingal County Councillor, Joe Corr, as the new Chairperson of the Dublin County VEC.
“I’m delighted to see my colleague, Joe Corr elected to this important position. As a councillor for the Balbriggan ward, Joe represents an area where towns such as Balbriggan, Rush and Skerries have experienced massive growth. Just like in Dublin 15, schools provision at primary and secondary level has not matched this increased development and Joe is familiar with dealing with these issues”.
“I was particularly happy to see that, in his speech on election, he specifically mentioned the development of the Phibblestown and Hansfield VEC schools as priorities for his term of office. Myself and Joe will also be meeting with representatives of the secondary schools group in the Castleknock/Carpenterstown area to progress the development of this much needed new secondary school”, concluded Roderic O’Gorman.
