From a business park to a state-of-the-art school building — hundreds of East Cork students were celebrating on Thursday as they moved into their new €40m campus, hailed as one of the single-most ambitious education projects ever undertaken by the Department of Education.
After more than 20-years of campaigning, and eight years in a business park unit, it was all smiles on Thursday morning as parents of students of Carrigtwohill Community College watched them parade into their new permanent purpose-built school building for the first classes.
