The Minister for Education and Skills, Ruairí Quinn T.D., today welcomed the successful delivery of 14 new schools under the 2011 Rapid Delivery Programme.
The 2011 Rapid Programme included projects for 13 primary schools and one post-primary school where accommodation could be delivered using off-site construction methods.
These schools serve rapidly developing areas, where either there was no existing school or where existing provision was unable to meet the demand.
This year's Rapid Delivery programme will see 3,500 current pupils benefit from modern energy efficient buildings and improved learning environments and will provide over 1,000 additional places.
The projects were tendered in late 2010 and construction commenced on the various projects between February and April this year.
By mid-November 2011 all 14 schools will be completed.
