Date Published: 27-Jul-2012

The CEO of County Galway VEC has committed to the Claregalway secondary school opening date of 2013, even though the location has yet to be identified.

Joe McDonagh says talks are ongoing between the Department of Education and interested parties in relation to the location of the new building.

County Galway VEC was named as the patron of the planned second level school on Wednesday.

It had been precluded from engaging in detailed discussions until the announcement, but met with the Department on the plans yesterday.

A new temporary building is expected to open in Claregalway for pupils enrolling in September 2013, and construction of a permanent building will start 2014 / 2015.
