Four new classrooms are to be provided at Holy Rosary College in Mountbellew while St Raphael’s College in Loughrea is set to get new facilities.
The news has been welcomed by Galway East Fine Gael TD Paul Connaughton, who raised the issue with An Taoiseach Enda Kenny during his visit to Mountbellew last week.
“The provision of extra classrooms will greatly benefit students,” he said. “Staff and management at the school are to be commended for their hard work over many years to ensure that this project came to fruition
