Cancer Support, the organisation who of- fer free
services to
those going through treatment and in need of advice as they face their diagnosis and the Little Princess Trust as they provide real hair wigs free of charge to children and young adults who have sad- ly lost their own hair due to cancer and other illness- es”. Both are amazing and wo r thwhil e charities to support. 12 inches is A LOT of hair and bold move

Cork East TD’s say Midleton and Fermoy Colleges must be Completed as a Matter of Urgency
by SEAMUS WHELEHAN
Two Cork East TD’s, Fianna Fail’s Kevin O’Keeffe and Labour’s Sean Sherlock, have urged the Minister for Education to ensure that St Colman’s Commu- nity College, Midleton and Coláiste Chraoib- hin, Fermoy are com- pleted immediately. Both schemes are to
facilitate an increase in school population-in St Colman’s to 1,000 pupils and 800 in Fermoy. Construction at both
sites stopped last month when Sammon Con-
struction Ireland Lim- ited (SCIL) sought the protection of the High Court following the col- lapse of British firm, Ca- rillion.
Carillion owe Sam-
mon a reported €8mil- lion which, in turn, meant that SCIL could not pay some of its con- tractors. The British firm had
a contract with the Gov- ernment to deliver edu- cational facilities here, and had subcontracted Salmon to construct five schools and a college under the Public Private Partnership. Sammon also had a
contract for 4 Non-Pub- lic Private Partnership schools, which both East Cork schools are part of. SCIL told the High the collapse
Court that
of the British firm had a devastating impact on its ability to carry out its other projects. On 8 May Cork Edu-
cational Training Board (ETB) terminated both contracts with Sammon, after talks with the De- partment of Education and representatives for the Examiner, broke down. There is significant
work to be complet- ed in Fermoy, with St
Colman’s Community College estimated to be 80% complete. Deputy O’Keeffe said both pro-
that, while
jects were started under the previous Govern- ment’s Rapid Build Pro- gramme, it was ironic that they are a year and a half behind schedule. As a result, students in Fermoy are being sent back to a school which they left 30 years ago, that has major health and safety issues which need addressing. Labour’s Sean Sher- lock said the latest de- velopments are worry- ing and urged that both

schemes be completed “post haste.” “It’s a very serious
matter causing a great degree
of worry, be-
cause the ETB are say- ing they will put in place additional accommoda- tion for September 2018 if necessary.” Speaking in the Dáil
earlier this week the Minister for Education, Richard Bruton, con- firmed that his Depart- ment is now rebidding both stalled projects fol- lowing the failed talks. The Minister said “all
efforts are being focused on attaining the quickest outcomes possible.”
