TD announces approval of extension for Kildare school

A Kildare-based TD for Fine Gael has announced that an extension to a school in Allenwood has been approved by the Department of Education.

Deputy Martin Heydon TD said that Scoil Mhuire NS Allenwood has received formal approval from the Dept for an extension to the school.

He added: "Well done to principal Ciaran O’Toole and the board of management at the school led by Nicola Carey, whom I and my colleague Cllr Brendan Wyse worked with on this project."

"The additional accommodation will help to address demand for places in the area.

"Both Brendan & I will continue to work with the board to ensure that this vital school extension is delivered as soon as possible."

In related news, Deputy Heydon made headlines last week after he said that he would be leading a an Irish trade mission to Mexico.
