Amharc ar fhreagraCavan ETB has identified the development of the site of the former Army Barracks in Cavan as an opportunity to centralise further education and training provision and eliminate the need for various rented accommodation arrangements around Cavan town. Plans are currently being advanced for interim temporary accommodation for Cavan Institute on the Barracks site. The ETB have submitted a capital works application for this accommodation to SOLAS for review in the first instance and my Department expects a recommendation on this proposal from SOLAS shortly.
