Lucan Post Primary Schools Buildings: St Josephs and Lucan Community College were among 8 schools nationally that were formally issued approval to commence the prequalification process to select a shortlist of contractors. Progress.
This week I asked again for an update on the timelines for Griffeen Community College and it was confirmed that this project is currently at advanced architectural planning stage and being progressed towards submission of a planning application.
When I got elected I promised that I would be an advocate in government for schools in Lucan. I will keep the pressure on.
