Major investment approved for Mayo secondary school

EDUCATION Minister Joe McHugh has sanctioned the go-ahead for a significant investment in St. Joseph's Secondary School in Foxford.

A major extension will be built at the facility, providing additional classrooms as well as extra accommodation for the study of science, engineering and building construction.

The news has been welcomed by Senator Michelle Mulherin who organised a visit by former Education Minister Richard Bruton to the college some months ago.

She said the investment will see the school going from strength to strength.
