Coláiste na Carraige four-room extension moves to tender stage

Coláiste na Carraige has received permission to proceed to tender with its extension plans.

The Carrick secondary school was given the go-ahead to construct a four-room extension under the Department of Education’s Additional School Accommodation Scheme. The extension will consist of a multi-media room, a music room, a metalwork room and a textiles room.

Welcoming the announcement, Donegal minister Charlie McConalogue paid tribute to the school’s principal Ms Caroline Uí Ghallchóir, staff and board of management for their efforts in getting the project to the tender stage.

“I’d like to thank my Fianna Fáil party colleague, Cllr Michael Naughton, for his work on this project and I also acknowledge the help and assistance of the Minister for Education, Norma Foley and her team," he commented. “This extension is badly needed and I look forward to seeing it progress to the construction stage as promptly as possible.”
