"We recently announced an €11.9 billion investment in education as part of Project Ireland 2040 which sees a boosting of the school building budget by 70% over the next ten years. This €11.9 billion investment reflects the importance this government puts on education and will enable our ambition to make Ireland's education and training service the best in Europe by 2026. We are investing in modern, state of the art facilities in our schools, higher and further education institutions, which are energy efficient and fit for purpose for the curricular reforms we are making."
The building will cater for over 300 pupils in 12 classrooms.
