A North Clare principal insists her school won’t become a “statistic” as it fights to stay open.

The school, which is located in a townland between Inagh and Ennistymon, currently has seven pupils enrolled and risks closure if it can’t hit the minimum number required before it submits its annual returns on September 30th.
Principal of Furglan National School, Patricia Vaughan, says it’s a nationwide issue that isn’t being discussed.
