Progress on special needs unit for north Mayo school

FINE Gael Deputy Michael Ring has welcomed the progress being made on the provision of a special needs unit at Glencastle N.S., Bunnahowen, Ballina.

Funding was approved under the Additional Accommodation Scheme 2019 to enable the school to build a two classroom SEN base, one staff room, one multi-purpose room, one nurses office, toilets and ancillary accommodation.

A consultant has now been appointed and the project is currently at preliminary design state. The appointed consultant will lead the project through the various stages of architectural planning and onwards through the statutory planning process and construction.

“I welcome this progress on the Special Needs Unit for Glencastle N.S.,” said Deputy Ring.
