Ballyvary Central NS works go out to tender

APPROVAL has been granted to enable projects at Ballyvary Central National School, Castlebar, to go out to tender.

The school, which has enrolment numbers of over 200 pupils, was approved funding for additional accommodation consisting of two 80m2 mainstream classrooms, including ensuite toilets, plus one 10.5 m2 WC for assisted users.

The school also fundraised locally to build a GP room as well and approval was sought for both projects to go tender.

Confirming the approval, Deputy Michael Ring said: “I am delighted that this matter is now progressing. It is more beneficial from a value for money perspective for these projects to be combined and I am pleased that the approval has now issued for these works to go to tender.

“I would like to compliment the school principal, Mary Cunningham, the teachers, the parents and the local community for fundraising for the GP room, which will ensure that the needs of the children attending Ballyvary Central NS will be met for some time to come.”
