The project to which the Deputy has referred was devolved to Limerick & Clare Education & Training Board for delivery under a Service Level Agreement.

The project went onsite in August 2019 and the new extension is now occupied by students since the new academic year commenced last September.

The brief for the project provided for a 4,175m2Extension and a PE Hall.

Accommodation provided includes 6 general classrooms, a Science Laboratory, a Multi Media Laboratory, Art & Craft room, Home Economics room, a Woodwork room, a Technology room and other ancillary accommodation.

Coolsivna Construction Group Ltd. was the appointed contractor.

As the Final Account has not yet been received by the Department, it is not possible to provide the final costings.

This state-of-the-art new educational facility represents a significant multi-million investment by my Department in the area in question, to serve the school and its wider community alike.
