St Patrick s Special School in Enniscorthy will open its doors on February 19.
The brand new state-of-the-art facility was due to open earlier this year but, as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and delays caused by the bespoke and intricate nature of the inner furnishings and design, the opening date was delayed.
Speaking to this newspaper, Principal Lee Rogers said the nature of the fittings and furnishings is such that it caused some delay to the project. A lot of the furniture and fittings are bespoke because of the nature of the school and that is the reason it has taken a bit longer than planned, said Mr Rogers.
