Long-awaited Carrigtwohill school campus gets green light

Fianna Fáil Education Minister, Norma Foley.

Political and education leaders in east Cork have urged the Government to follow through on a long-mooted secondary school campus for Carrigtwohill after the state planning board gave it the green light.

A Carrigtwohill Community College campus has been on the agenda in east Cork for more than eight years, but has been the victim of a number of false starts in the intervening period.
