Dillon welcomes approval for Mayo school extension

Minister of State Alan Dillon has welcomed approval for two special education needs classrooms at a Mayo national school.

“I am delighted to receive confirmation from the Department of Education that initial project approval has been granted for two special education needs classrooms at St. Aidan’s National School, Kiltimagh.”

The project will be delivered via a devolved delivery mechanism utilising the Department of Education’s Modular Framework. This modern construction approach ensures high-quality, energy-efficient learning spaces are delivered swiftly and with minimal disruption to the daily running of the school.

Minister Dillon said: “The addition of a dedicated two-classroom special education needs suite is a massive boost for the local community. I want to commend the Principal Dr. Paul Butler and the Board of Management, staff and parents for their hard work in advancing this application, and I look forward to seeing construction get underway shortly."
