O’ROURKE WELCOMES PROGRESS ON MAYNOOTH SCHOOLS

 

A preferred tender has been identified and selected for the construction of the new Maynooth Community Schools

Frank O’Rourke is pleased to confirm this after he met with the Educational and Training Board (ETB) during the week

In recent days, I met with the ETB to get an update on progress for the new community schools for Maynooth. I’m pleased to confirm that a preferred tender has been identified and selected’

A report is now being finalised, which will be submitted to the Department of Education and Science for approval in the coming days.  I have requested a meeting with the Minister for Education, Richard Bruton TD, to re-emphasise the importance of this project for Maynooth, and honour the commitment he gave me and others who have worked so hard to get this project off the ground.’

‘I will continue to engage and pursue the ETB and the Department until the contract is awarded and construction commences.  We must ensure that the new community schools in Maynooth are built without delay,’ stated Deputy O’Rourke who met with concerned parents in Maynooth last week to discuss the project.

‘This is important for the whole community in Maynooth and surrounding area, as there are many primary schools in the Maynooth feeder area.  I know the work that many teachers, both principals, the boards of managements, parents, public representatives and the community at large have put into this over the last number of years.’

‘I, with others, will continue to work with all stakeholders until this much needed project for Maynooth and the surrounding area is completed’
