Work to commence shortly on new school in Carrigaline

Construction will begin shortly on a multi-million euro secondary school which is set to open its doors in the busy town of Carrigaline next September.

But parents and students do not have to wait until then to find out what it will be like. A new website is already providing information, news and updates on progress in relation to all aspects of the development of the Edmund Rice College, which will be the third post-primary school for the area.

Construction is scheduled to start early next year on the brand new Catholic voluntary school which will eventually have capacity for 600 students but which opens, to first-year students only, in September 2016.
