NEW CLASSROOMS SECURED FOR BALBRIGGAN SCHOOL

I have secured a commitment from the Tánaiste & Minister for Education and Skills Mary Coughlan T.D. for the essential building of new classrooms at Scoil Bhionnáin Naofa, Balbriggan.

This is fantastic news for Scoil Bhionnáin Naofa. Under the funding approved by the Tánaiste the school will have prefabs replaced with two 80 square metre mainstream classrooms. The construction of a 16 square metre learning support classroom has also been approved.

This is essential work for the school and I'm delighted the Tánaiste has responded very positively to representations I have made on behalf of Scoil Bhionnáin Naofa and facilitated the funding.

The Building Unit of the Department of Education and Skills will be in contact with the school shortly regarding this important development.

I am very happy for the staff and parents of students at the school. They have worked very hard to secure these new buildings which will greatly enhance the learning environment for students.
