Craughwell school expansion hits roadblock

Galway Bay fm newsroom - Craughwell National School's planned extension has hit a roadblock.

The project would see the construction of a new two-storey, eight-classroom school extension with GP hall.

The board of management secured planning approval for the expansion in June.

However this has been appealed by a group of local residents who have concerns over a new entrance and the potential for traffic chaos on an existing residential access road.

An Bord Pleanála is due to make a decision shortly.
