I have been informed by Rush National School that progress is being made on plans for an extension to the school building.  I know from my involvement with the school and principal Margaret Dobinson that this project will be hugely important to them.

The Building Unit of the Department of Education is working with the school and I expect further progress to be made in the coming weeks.  The Department have now given the go-ahead to proceed to the next stage, which is to send out the decision of the Board of Management in relation to their selected consultancy service.

I visited the school again recently.  I know the staff and management are continuing to provide an excellent education to the children in the community.

This project is a priority for me and I will continue to do everything I can to assist in seeing the necessary extension and refurbishment take place as soon as possible.

I intend to shortly meet again with the Minister for Education in relation to Rush National School.

I will be back in touch as soon as I have a further update, in the meantime, if I can be of assistance on any matter please do not hesitate to contact me.
