Progress made on Mayo secondary school extension plan

A Mayo TD has welcomed confirmation that Scoil Muire & Pádraig, Swinford, has proceeded to tender for architectural services for the school's additional accommodation extension.

The popular Swinford school has been approved for two new SEN classrooms and a WC for assisted users, secure hard and soft play area, a sensory garden and additional car parking spaces

Deputy Alan Dillon stated: "I am delighted to see this project advance to tender stage.

"I wish to acknowledge the support of my colleague Councillor Neil Cruise in progressing the project and I also pay tribute to the school principal, staff and students.

"I look forward to the works commencing in the coming months and I’m sure that the teachers and students will benefit greatly from the additional accommodation."
