Senator Eugene Murphy has welcomed confirmation of initial project approval for the following three school projects in County Roscommon.
Naomh Michael Agus Padraig (Cootehall) has received approval for three set rooms, and a two-classroom SEN base.
Camcloon National School (Ballydangan) has received approval for reconfiguration work to existing accommodation to provide an SEN class.
St Anne’s Convent National School (Castlerea) has received approval for reconfiguration works to provide a mainstream classroom.
Senator Murphy said: “SEN and SET rooms are crucial, so those with special needs are catered for within mainstream schooling.
“The reconfiguration of school buildings makes absolute sense, as a valuable use of existing space”.
Senator Murphy also welcomes the provision of mainstream classrooms: “Both Minister Foley and I are responding to necessary education requirements within County Roscommon”, he concluded.
