Tenders sought for west Mayo school works

TENDERS are being sought for significant works to a Westport school.

The successful tender, said Deputy Alan Dillon, will be responsible for replacing the roof at Rice College, the boys secondary school.

Deputy Dillon explained: “The works include replacement of roof finishes, rooflights, high level windows and associated and consequential works to services and internal finishes to eight classrooms and a science room extension with new toilets, with the conversion of existing classrooms into a staffroom.

“These are significant works, which will upgrade the school.

"I want to wish principal Michael Rabbitte, his staff and pupils the very best of success as they continue with the progression of this popular educational facility.”
