Work is underway at Kildorrery National School to construct three special education rooms, one new classroom and a universal access toilet (UAT) facility.
The new extension will cost €345,977 to complete and will include an upgrade to the existing fire system and safety equipment.

“In recent years we have almost doubled in classroom size, from four classrooms to seven, so space was really at a premium. The new extension will make a huge difference,” Ms Kelly said.
