North Mayo school extension proceeds to tender

DEPUTY Alan Dillon has received confirmation from the Department of Education that an extension and refurbishment of Knockanillo NS, Ballina, has proceeded to tender.

“I am delighted that this project approval for the extension of a mainstream classroom and removal of the existing prefab has been granted to the school,” said Deputy Dillon. “I will continue to work with the school staff and board of management to ensure additional accommodation for mainstream and those with special educational needs in 2024.

“I am committed to ensuring the further development of this school into the future to meet the needs of the local community.

“I want to wish principal David McDonnell, his staff, pupils and board of management the very best as they proceed with this additional accommodation.”
