IN ANOTHER step forward in amalgamating the town's three primary schools, a design team are due to meet with local principals on site in the next two weeks.
According to CBS Primary School Principal Brian McMahon, who has been campaigning for a new primary school for over fifteen years, the design team are currently embarking on six months of planning, technical and design work on the site in Castlemoyle.
Once the plans are drawn up, they will then be submitted to the Department of Education's technical department to be given the go-ahead before going out to tender, according to Brian.
Government Chief Whip Paul Kehoe together with Cllr. Victor Furness met with Brian McMahon, Michael Street NS Principal Elma Sutton, the Chairman of St. Joseph's Board of Management David Maher and the Chairman of the CBS BOM Aidan Kent yesterday (Monday) for the Minister to be fully briefed on the history of the project to date.
