A new secondary school under construction in Monasterevin should be open for the school year in September 2022, the Minister for Education said.
Minister Norma Foley said that construction began on the Moore Abbey site in October 2020 and it is progressing satisfactorily with a contract duration of approximately 20 months.
This timeline would see the project completed in the summer of 2022 in time for enrolments in early September.
