Work To Begin Shortly On New School Building At Greystones Community College

The long-awaited Greystones Community College school building is to go to construction after the letter of acceptance was issued from the Department to the successful contractor.

The permanent building project for Greystones Community College will deliver a new 1,000 pupil post-primary school with accommodation, including 4 classrooms, for children with special educational needs.

The project is being delivered under the Department’s Design & Build programme. 

 The Taoiseach can confirm that diggers will be on site in a month’s time with work to commence over the summer months.

 Speaking today, Taoiseach Simon Harris said:

“I am absolutely thrilled to announce that Greystones Community College’s long awaited new school build will soon go to construction after it received its letter of acceptance.

“I have been tirelessly campaigning to get this project to construction as soon as possible and it has been for years a key priority issue for me.

“This is hugely positive for the community. Parents in Greystones have been put through an unfair amount of stress with school shortages over the past few years.

“It is about time action was taken and that we got projects to construction.

“This new school building will cater for 1,000 pupil in the post-primary school.

“This new building also includes 4 classrooms, for children with special educational needs.

Taoiseach Simon Harris added:

“As a Greystones resident, as a TD for Wicklow and as Taoiseach I know the impact this will have on the community who has been waiting for this news for so long.

“I look forward to seeing boots and diggers on the ground over the summer months and will continue to watch this development evolve.

“As always I will keep the people of Greystones informed of any updates in the coming months.

“I want to thank everybody who has worked so hard to see this project get over the line.
