Galway Bay fm newsroom - A decision is due soon on plans for a new primary school in Carrabane Athenry.

The Board of Management of St. Joseph's National School has applied for planning permission for the new school building on land adjacent to Kilcionieron GAA club.

It would be a 2-storey 10-classroom school with a new entrance from the L-3114 road.
