The Tánaiste and Minister for Education and Skills, Mary Coughlan TD, today opened a new €380,000 extension at Scoil Náisiúnta Cholmcille, Fintown, Co Donegal.
The school was allocated €380,000 as part of the 2007 Small Schools Scheme, enabling it to build a new classroom, a resource room, library, office and a multipurpose room, and to refurbish the existing school.
Speaking at the school, the Tánaiste said parents and the local community had worked tirelessly to progress the project.
'This extension and refurbishment project would not have happened without the dedication and hard work of many people here today. I know how proud the local community is here and how much they value the role this school plays in daily life.
'Scoil Cholmcille has a strong tradition in singing, drama and GAA, the latter being a particular passion of the school principal, Seaghan MacLaifeartaigh.
