School gets green light for new building

ONE of the fastest-growing post-primary schools in the country has been given the go-ahead for a new college.

Coláiste Chiaráin in Croom, Co Limerick, has been given formal approval to commence the building of a school to facilitate 900 students.

Tánaiste and Minister for Education and Skills, Mary Coughlan, has advised the college of her decision to approve a devolved grant which will allow Limerick County VEC take a lead role in the delivery of the multi-million euro project.
