Education Minister Paul Givan announced the new-build, extension and refurbishment schemes that will be funded from his capital budget.

The projects are being paid for from £80million of additional capital funding allocated to the Department of Education for this financial year.Seven new-build primary schools will now progress to procurement and construction.

They are Abbey Community College; Carniny Primary School; Kilronan Special School; Lurgan Model Integrated Primary School; St John’s Primary School at Kingsisland, Coalisland; St Malachy’s College in Belfast; St Mary’s Primary School in Barr, Newry; and St Kevin’s College in Lisnaskea. However, that protection was removed when the Government re-profiled the funding as part of the financial package offered for the restoration of Stormont earlier this year.

“The investment will also provide a welcome boost to the construction industry over the next number of years.”
