Fine Gael TD for Limerick Patrick O’Donovan has today welcomed the news that the extension to Coláiste Iosaf in Kilmallock has been given the go ahead for construction next year.
“I am delighted with the announcement this morning that the extension to Coláiste Iosaf in Kilmallock has been given the go ahead to proceed to construction phase in 2014. The provision of this extension will have a huge impact on the pupils, their families and the teaching staff.”
“Education is being prioritised by this Government within extremely limited spending options. The announcement was made this morning by the Minister for Education and Skills, Ruairi Quinn, when he announced the 70 school projects which are scheduled for construction in 2014, as part of the €2bn five year plan.
These school projects will deliver over 27,500 permanent school places and of these over 21,000 are additional places. The remainder will be the replacement of temporary or unsatisfactory accommodation. Ends. Please contact Patrick on 069 77998 for more information.
