Loreto Abbey in Rathfarnham, which occupies an imposing 291-year-old Georgian building sitting on a 4.5 acre plot in the south Dublin suburb, was sold to the Department of Education by NAMA this week for a reported €2.3 million. It is reported that the Department of Education plans to convert the Abbey back into a secondary school.
It is expected that a new Irish language post-primary school, Gaelcholaiste an Phiarsaigh, will be located on the site and it is hoped it will open for first years by 1 September next. Prior to it being put on the market last autumn, extensive renovations were carried out to weather-proof the buildings in the complex, which also include a chapel and a PE hall.
However, it’s understood significant building works will have to be carried out if the former school is to be re-opened to students by 1st September next.
