The three female wards at the Government Industrial School (GIS) in Barrows, St Lucy will be transferred to the Dodds, St Philip location as early as next week.With 95 per cent of the construction work to retrofit the GIS at Dodds to make provisions for the girls completed, interim principal Catherine Jordan said the wards currently housed at Barrows, should be joining their five male counterparts from Monday October 3.“We are trying for Monday, but what we have to complete is to bring the equipment and supplies that are down there [at Barrows] that can be used here. So if there are some air-conditioned units that can be used here, instead of having to buy them, we will bring those.“The kitchen furniture that the girls sit on, we will bring that. So it depends on the next couple of days. We are planning for Monday. We are hoping it works out,” Jordan said.
