Design team being appointed for new build at Gort national school

Galway Bay fm newsroom - A design team is being appointed for a major expansion at Gort National School.

The team will be responsible for designing a new state-of-the-art facility.

Gort National School is currently operating at two separate sites - with some students based in the heart of the town and senior students based at the edge of the town.

The new building will be located at the site where senior pupils are currently based.

Minister of State and Galway East TD Ciaran Cannon says the appointment of a design team brings the project a step closer to realisation - which is planned to be complete by the end of 2020.
