An Inishowen school is delighted having secured funding for an extension.
Scoil Mhuire National School in Dristeran, Gleneely, is to get a new classroom with assisted user toilets.
The school will also get a Special Education Teacher support room as part of the development.
“This is the latest in a series of developments at the school and I’m delighted that Minister Richard Bruton has approved these new rooms for the school,” said Councillor Bernard McGuinness.
As part of the announcement from the Department of Education School Buildings Unit, two other schools in the county have been given the go-ahead for emergency mechanical works.
Scoil Adhamhnáin, An Luinnigh, Derrybeg and St Patrick’s National School in Murlog, Lifford, will be informed of work there in coming days.
No details are given of the amount of funding approved by the School Building Unit, as the publication of the amount of grant aid sanctioned could prejudice the tendering process for an individual project.
The School Building Unit will issue detailed letters on the relevant projects directly to the school authorities and these letters will inform the school authorities of the amount of grant aid sanctioned by the Department.
Joe Mc Hugh TD has thanked his colleague Minister Richard Bruton and the Department of Education for accepting the requests of the three schools.
