Today I received an update from the Minister for Education on the long awaited building project for Coláiste an Chroí Naofa, Carrignavar.

The project includes a new science lab and prep area, a construction studies room and prep area, a multimedia room, a music room, two SEN classrooms and a project store.

The Minister confirmed that the Stage 2b report was submitted in November. The Department is now reviewing the plan for cost and technical compliance under the Public Spending Code. The Department will continue engaging with the school.

There is still no timeline for tender. The Minister stated that the final decision depends on the National Development Plan implementation plan due later this year.

This plan will decide which projects progress first based on capacity needs, value for money and local demand.

I will keep pushing for movement on this project. The school community deserves clarity and progress. If you want to discuss this update, please contact my office on 021 245 5770.

“It does paint quite a picture — leaving no calm moment for reflection or to squeeze in our holy prayers when they got us doing cardio .”
“At this rate, the only thing ascending is our heart rate.”
But its up to you, ones own choice if you wish to adapt.
