PICTURES: Joy for Laois children as new Kolbe Special School building opens

See the amazing facilities inside bright and spacious Portlaoise special needs school

A Laois school for children with severe to profound special needs, has finally moved into its beautiful new home.

Kolbe Special School in Portlaoise has 48 pupils and many specialist staff who both care for and teach the children, who come from not just Laois but surrounding counties for their expert care.

On Monday, April 20 the children came through the doors of the new €15 million school, down the road from their old, cramped, prefab heavy building. The change is "fantastic" in every way, principal Orlagh Mahon told the Leinster Express / Laois Live.  Tap NEXT to view.
