Date Published: 21-Jul-2010

The Department of Education is to carry out a study on the need for a secondary school in Claregalway.

It follows a meeting organised by Galway West T.D Frank Fahey with the Education Minister, Mary Coughlan last evening [Tue 20/7].

It was attended by a delegation campaigning to have a second level school in Claregalway to cater for students from as far as Oranmore and Athenry.

County Galway VEC has offered to give patronage to the school, should it get the go ahead.

Several sites have been identified for a temporary school, such as the Corporate Park in Claregalway.

Deputy Frank Fahey says the Minister has agreed to undertake the study on future education provisions for Claregalway.
