Announcing the approvals, Minister John Cummins said: “This is fantastic news for both Scoil Naomh Mhuire Ballygunner and Fenor National School and I know that these developments will make a tangible difference to both schools and the wider communities going forward.

"The new tuition rooms at Scoil Naomh Mhuire and designated classrooms at Fenor NS will provide a designated environment where students can learn and flourish. 

"The additional mainstream classes at Scoil Mhuire will also significantly help to meet the growing demands on the school as the area continues to grow in terms of population.
