Education Minister hears concerns over delay in new building for Clarin College in Athenry

Galway Bay fm newsroom - The Education Minister has this afternoon heard a number of concerns in relation to delays in the delivery of new facilities at Clarin College in Athenry.

Clarin College has a student enrollment of 600, and campaigners say the existing buildings are not fit for purpose

Galway East TD Sean Canney says staff, parents and students have been promised a new school, but the project has been dogged by what he describes as unnecessary delays.

He says following a meeting held in Galway today, Minister Richard Bruton has committed to immediately make contact with officials in the Building Unit in an effort to get the project back on track.
