National school in large Cork town concerned about accommodating classes in next two years

A site was identified in January 2023 and subsequently purchased in Janeville for Owenabue Educate Together, but it doesn’t appear on the list of projects prioritised to proceed in 2026 or 2027

Owenabue Educate Together National School (ETNS) is currently operating across two split sites in Heron’s Wood, one of them being Rosemount (pictured).

Fears are escalating that a national school in Co Cork’s largest town won’t be able to accommodate classes within the next two years.

Minister for education Hildegarde Naughton is being urged to clarify what is to be done to alleviate the mounting pressure facing Owenabue ETNS (Educate Together National School) in Carrigaline.
