I have been and will continue to work with all at Mungret Community College to progress the construction of this new 1000 pupil school building as quickly as possible.
Specifically, I wish to commend the great work of Mungret College School principal Liam O'Mahoney, Teachers, Staff, Chair of the Board, Limerick Mayor Councillor Daniel Butler, fellow Board members ,Chief Executive of LCETB George O'Callaghan and LCETB Head of Capital & Procurement, Mr Eamon Murphy on their great work here to progress this School Building Project to the tender stage.
Since opening its doors in temporary accommodation at the old Mungret College in August 2017, Mungret Community College under principal Liam O'Mahoney has been a great success, making a significant contribution to second-level education here in Limerick.
In the interests of fast-tracking this much needed school project, the Department of Education agreed to devolve the project of this new school building to the locally based Limerick & Clare Education & Training Board(LCETB), who are also the School Patron.
Locally based, the LCETB brings a wealth of expertise and experience in delivering School building projects in Limerick and Clare.
Getting the new state-of-the-art school building in place for Mungret Community College in place as quickly as possible is now the priority here.”
