St Flannan's College Principal Hails "Transformative" Expansion

Clare FM

The Principal of Clare's largest secondary school is hopeful a newly approved expansion will benefit students for generations to come. Work has commenced at St.Flannan's College in Ennis on the construction of six new special needs education classrooms, a new technology room and three science labarotories which it's expected will be completed by next September. The expansion will allow Flannan's to introduce technology as a subject and cater for a growing population of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The new building will firstly act as the temporary home of almost 300 students from Knockanean National School, until their newly approved two-storey school building comes on stream. St.Flannan's Principal Fr Ignatius McCormack insists the expansion will future proof the catchment area.
