The school to which the Deputy refers was approved funding for a large-scale major building project. The project is devolved for delivery to Cavan & Monaghan Educational Training Board (CMETB).

This project will provide an 8 classroom school and 2 SET rooms.

I am pleased to advise that this project is at stage 4 of the architectural process. Works commenced on site in June 2023 and it is expected it to be practically completed in Q1, 2025.

CMETB will continue to engage and communicate directly with the school community in relation to the progression of the project.
