When completed the new school building will have eight classrooms for primary level students in the east Galway village.
Deputy Cannon said that this was very positive news for the community in Bullaun.
“This is fantastic news for the board of management and the who school community, the parents, the teachers, and most of all the young people of Bullaun.”
He thanked the BoM and Bullaun National School principal Fergal Connaire “all of whom have been working so hard over the last number of years” on this project.
