Delight as school finally gets go-ahead for building
Kilfinane National School was one of those whose building works was put on hold last summer by Education Minister Batt O’Keeffe because of funding shortages, even though the board was told to go to tender for a new six-classroom project the previous February and had builders lined up for the job.
It was one of a number of schools whose appalling conditions were highlighted in an Irish Examiner series last June on the state of some of the country’s most dilapidated and outdated schoolbuildings.
