Wexford TD and Minister of State for Law Reform James Browne has welcomed progress in the delivery of a new primary school and secondary school in Wexford town.
The Department of Education and Skills has agreed a service level agreement with the Waterford and Wexford Education Training Board.
“As the Chair of the Board of Management of Wexford Educate Together National School (WETNS), I’m delighted with the progress in the delivery of a new primary school and secondary school in Wexford town.”
“I’ve been seeking a permanent school building for WETNS for several years.”
The shortage of Secondary School places in Wexford town has been a long running issue and a cause of frustration and stress for parents and children alike. I’ve attend several public meetings and talked to numerous parents over the years about this.
“A new primary and secondary school for Wexford town is a key priority of mine in Government. It is expected that the schools will be ready to be occupied within three years and hopefully sooner. The location of the schools will be in Clonard, with the exact location still to be disclosed.”
