The amalgamation of two national schools in Drogheda, Scoil Mhuire Fatima and St. Mary's Boys, was one of 43 projects authorised by me in March of this year to commence architectural planning. An advertisement seeking suitably qualified design team consultants was placed in the Official Journal of the European Union on 10 June. This competitive selection process will be completed shortly by the boards of management of both schools, at which point the architectural design of the new 32-classroom primary school will begin immediately.
