Local TD Seán Canney has called on the Government to expedite the delivery of the long awaited new national school for Tuam.
The three national schools in Tuam were joined together to form Trinity National School in September 2019.
But the delivery of a single national school for the town is still in its design stage, which Deputy Canney has described as “very disappointing”.
He said that the staff, pupils and parents deserve better and indeed the town of Tuam deserves a modern national school education campus to serve the needs of the national school children.
The Galway East TD said at the rate of progress to date, it could be another five years before we see any works commencing on site.
“These delays are also holding up the progression of the Educate Together National School being accommodated in a permanent location in the town which is also not acceptable,” the Independent TD said.
In a written response from the Minister for Education Norma Foley, she confirmed that she could not give a timeline for the delivery of the projects at this stage.
Deputy Canney called on the Minister to engage with her officials and ensure delivery is achieved without any further delay.
