The extension project at Coláiste na Carraige has been given the green light to move forward to the tender stage.
A contractor will now be saught to carry out the works, which would see four additional rooms constructed.
The plans include building a new multi-media room, music room, metalwork room, and textiles room.
News of the project moving to tender was confirmed by Donegal TD and Agriculture Minister Charlie McConalogue.
“Glad to confirm that Coláiste na Carraige has received permission to proceed to tender with its extension plans,” Minister McConalogue said.
“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.”
“Great credit must go to the school’s principal, 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.”
“This extension is badly needed, and I look forward to seeing it progress to the construction stage as promptly as possible.”
