The Department of Education says it’s at ‘an advanced stage’ of acquiring a site to construct a new building for the Educate Together primary school in Ennis.

The school, currently based on the Gort Road at a site owned by the local authority, caters for more than 60 pupils from junior infants to sixth class.

It currently operates from prefab facilities, with a recent Department analysis determining that a new, permanent building is needed.
