As you may know, the Galway Educate Together Second-Level School Start up Group (GET2LS) has been actively campaigning for 5 years. During that time we have held multiple meetings with successive Ministers for Education, officials from the Department of Education and Skills, and local TDs and senators from the Galway West and Galway East constituencies.
We have also gathered the names of over 1,400 children whose parents would like them to attend an Educate Together second-level school in Galway. These include not alone children from the 5 Educate Together primary schools in Galway, but also children from over 50 other primary schools in the county.
We have now initiated a petition to the Minister for Education and Skills to raise the profile of our campaign and to demonstrate how many people support the opening of an Educate Together second-level school in Galway.
Please sign here and forward this link to your friends and family explaining that this is important to you and asking them to also sign:

The more people who sign the petition the stronger our voice will be.
To achieve a large number of signatures we need your help.
To learn more about the GET2LS campaign please follow us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/get2ls/), Twitter (@get2ls) or attend one of our monthly meetings. The next meeting will take place on February 10th at 8pm (the venue will be confirmed on Facebook and Twitter nearer to the date).
Thank you,
The GET2LS Committee
