View answerThe delivery of the proposed new Gaelcholáiste in Carrigaline, Co Cork has been devolved to Cork Education & Training Board. The new Gaelcholaiste will be delivered as part of a three school Campus along with Gaelscoil Carrigaline and SONAS Special Primary School. The Gaelcholaiste is planned to open in temporary accommodation in 2014. The permanent building project is currently at the early stages of architectural planning. It is expected that the project will progress through the various planning stages including submission of an application for planning permission to the local authority in 2014 and subject to the completion of that process to commence construction in early 2015.
