All-girls school ‘saddened’ by unfinished PE and concert hall
A local all-girls secondary school in Rathfarnham has lamented the “incomplete education” given to students due to a 25-year wait for a new PE hall and concert hall.
Sancta Maria College in Ballyroan Crescent has been waiting for their school gym and drama room to be delivered for two-and-a-half decades along with a ring road, with two half-built structures currently at the site after the original construction company went into liquidation – no works have been carried out in the last six years.
