Permission granted for new Gaelscoil under construction
Planning permission has been granted for a three-storey extension to a new Gaelscoil campus already under construction on the Old Nangor Road.
Dublin and Dun Laoghaire Education & Training Board (DDLETB) applied for permission for the construction of a new three-storey extension and alterations to the new Gaelscoil na Camoige and Gaelscoil Chluain Dolcain.
The original development, which began construction in August of last year on the grounds of Colaiste Chilliain, consists of two 16 classroom primary schools, plus a PE hall for the post primary school on a shared campus.
