Gort Community School is to get three new classrooms and changing rooms following approval for funding for the works from the Department of Education.
The news has been welcomed by Galway East Fianna Fáil TD Noel Treacy, who said the new classrooms and changing rooms “will come as a big boost to the staff and students”.
“We all know how important it is to have good facilities for our young students and these new classrooms will certainly help in that regard,” he said. “I hope that now that the funding has been allocated it will not be too long before we see work begin on the new facilities.”
