Preparation work on a new school in Bullymun, Dublin, has been completed.

Children attending the Gaelscoil Bhaile Munna will no longer be using prefabs after today, 30 September, and are moving in to temporary accommodation while construction work begins on the new school.

Ballymun Sinn Féin Councillor Noeleen Reilly said: "Many parents thought this day would never come, so it is with great relief that the School have advised parents that they will be moving into temporary accommodation from next week.
