Fine Gael TD for Limerick Patrick O’ Donovan has welcomed the decision of the Department of Education and Skills to approve additional funding for Nicker National School so that works at the school can get underway. The funding will go towards the provision of mainstream classrooms and associated ground works.
Deputy O’ Donovan who had worked tirelessly to ensure the funding would be awarded said he was delighted that the long awaited work would now go ahead.
“A lot of hard work has gone into this project by the Board of Management, Parents Association and teachers in Nicker National School in securing this funding. Also this announcement comes in no small part to the role played by local councillor and teacher at the school Cllr. Mary Harty, who has played a key part in advancing the project.”
“Anyone who has ever worked on getting funding for such work to be carried out knows that it is no easy task, particularly given our current economic situation, but funding such as this is a sign of our Government’s commitment to the education of future generations.”
