The major building project for Setanta Special School is at Stage 4 with works progressing on site. Works commenced on site in June 2023 with an estimated completion of 18 months. However, due to unforeseen site issues at the outset, completion is now estimated at Quarter 2 of 2025. The Department is closely monitoring progress to mitigate any further delay.

Setanta Special School is currently in shared temporary accommodation with Riverview Educate Together National School. A local arrangement exists between the two schools regarding the shared use of the GP room.

A site visit was carried out and recommendations have been made to the Patron of Educate Together who is currently looking to resolve the matter.
