35 million euro Education Campus for Monaghan


Posted by SchoolDays Newshound on 12/08/2011. Tags: Education And Politics

text re imageEducation Minister Ruairí Quinn has today given the green light to Co. Monaghan Vocational Education Committee to proceed to the next stage in the construction of a €35 million education campus. Following a tender process, the VEC will commence construction on the new campus.

This is one of the first Department of Education projects where responsibility has been devolved to a VEC. Co. Monaghan VEC will manage the provision of the new Education Campus. It is the largest building project to be funded by the Department this year.

The campus will include new accommodation for a 16 classroom primary school (Gaelscoil Ultain), a 400 pupil post primary school (Gaelcholáiste Oiriall) together with a 700 student Institute of Further Education (MIFET).
It will also include a state of the art theatre which will be the new home of The Garage Theatre. The MIFET will also use the theatre in its further education courses. This facility is being grant-aided by the Department of Education & Skills and the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht to the tune of €3.3 million.
