Galway Bay fm newsroom – The Department of Education has asked representatives of Presentation College Athenry to provide further information on a proposed location for a new school building.
Officials from the department have met with a delegation from the school to look at options for a new location.
It’s after around 100 pupils were informed that their applications for enrolment at the school were unsuccessful due to a lack of space.
The new building was first approved several years ago, and the Department of Education says it will continue to work closely with the school patron to acquire a permanent site for the school.
In a statement to Galway Bay fm news, the Department says it will revert to the school patron in the coming weeks to ensure the project is progressed as quickly as possible.
