Cavan/Monaghan Fianna Fáil TD Brendan Smith has welcomed the approval by the Department of Education and Skills of a major building project for Inver College, Carrickmacross.

“This approval will enable the provision of significant additional permanent accommodation at Inver College consisting of general classrooms, Science Room, Art Room and a Special Needs Unit. I hope that this much needed accommodation can be provided in a timely manner and I compliment the Cavan Monaghan Education and Training Board on progressing the project to this stage.

I had raised with the Minister for Education and Skills through Parliamentary Questions the need to progress this project and ensure that the school will have the most up to date accommodation and facilities. I wish the ETB and all involved with Inver College every success in delivering this new accommodation”, stated Deputy Brendan Smith.
