A new primary school will be built in North Kerry.
The Minister for Education Norma Foley has announced the sanction of a new, four-classroom school building for Knocknagoshel National School.
The build will provide four general classrooms, a GP room, a library/resource area and ancillary accommodation.
An agreement between Kerry ETB and the department will be formally made, before a design team is appointed.
Minster Foley says it’s a welcome development for the rural community in Knocknagoshel and its hinterland.
Deputy Michael Healy-Rae is also welcoming the news.
