Plans have been lodged with Cavan County Council this week for a major extension to a local secondary school.

Colaiste Dun an Ri in Kingscourt were given the green light for funding from the Department of Education in recent months.

The application seeks planning permission for a further 23 new classrooms along with 2 special educational needs classrooms, 5 SET classrooms and other multifunctional rooms. The proposed development if given the go-ahead would see a floor area of 5,850 sq meters ranging in height from 2 storey to 4 storey.

39 additional car parking spaces together with set down areas along with an additional ball court, student outdoor areas, landscaping and additional bicycle parking are all being proposed in this planning application. Enrolment numbers are set to continue to grow up to 1,000 students over the next couple of years at the local school. When Coláiste Dún an Rí in Kingscourt opened its doors over 7 years ago, there were 68 students enrolled. County planners will decide on the application by the middle of July.
