Byrne Welcomes New Schools Proposals
for West Tyrone!
Mr Byrne, SDLP MLA for West Tyrone, welcomes the new build
proposals for some schools in the West Tyrone area. He says ‘these will not only be welcomed by
the schools themselves but will be welcomed by the construction industry in the
area’.
‘I congratulate the pupils, staff and governors of Omagh
Integrated Primary School as well as Strabane Academy and Gaelscoil Ui
Dhochartaigh P.S. in Strabane. This is a welcome boost for these schools and I
wish them well with their new builds.’
In regard to the Lisanelly Shared Education Campus it is good
that the Minister brought some clarity to the situation on the way forward. He
outlined a new build replacement project proposal for Arvalee Special School at
Lisanelly and this is also to be welcomed.
In conclusion, Joe Byrne MLA stated ‘this statement by John
O’ Dowd, Education Minister ,is a positive signal from the Department of
Education at this time, particularly
given that £40 million has been allocated to schools maintenance and a
capital built programme of £220 million across the North.
