Deputy Keira Keogh TD welcomes the announcement today of 42 new special classrooms by Minister Hildegard Naughton

Deputy Keira Keogh TD has welcomed the announcement today of 42 new special classrooms by Minister Hildegard Naughton.

“I am delighted for Swinford NS to see the long-awaited special classroom being granted by the Minister. This will require a new modular project to facilitate the children, and I am hopeful that this will commence as soon as possible,” said Keogh.

“There are many more schools awaiting inclusion and allocations and I will continue to advocate to the Minister and my colleagues in Government to ensure that no child is prohibited from attending their local school due to lack of facilities or resources.”

Deputy Keogh continues, “This Tranche 9 of special class sanctions brings the number of additional classes for 2026/27 to 15 in Mayo, 8 at Primary level and 7 at Secondary level with a total of 546 countrywide.”
