Minister for Education and Skills

I am pleased to advise the Deputy that planning permission has been secured for a Post-Primary school (Swords Community College RN 76475D) on a site in North Swords (Mooretown).

A building contractor was appointed and construction commenced in April 2019. The anticipated handover of the school is Q3 2020.
