The students and pupils will move from their current school building which has exceeded the capacity to a state-of-the-art new building. The move into the new building will come after recent confirmation that St Mary’s NS has been granted DEIS status by Minister for Education, Norma Foley TD under a newly expanded plan.
Commenting on his visit, Minister McConalogue said it was great to visit the nearly-completed building project with Cllr Patrick McGowan.
