I am delighted to announce that, subject to the satisfactory outcome of the planning process, and the conclusion of the remaining stages in the procurement process, it is intended that construction will commence in first quarter of 2015 and the new schools will be available from second quarter of 2016. I am conscious of the importance of this project to each of the communities in which the schools are located. Taken together this project is providing nearly 3,000 new, state-of-the-art school places.

  • Comeragh College, Carrick on Suir, Co Tipperary: to provide a replacement post-primary VEC college for 500 students, including a special education needs suite, on a greenfield site.
  • Skibbereen Community School, Co Cork: new post primary school for 900 students, including a special needs suite, arising from amalgamation of three schools in the area.
