The two storey building, which was completed earlier this year, consists of seven classrooms and three SEN spaces. The single storey consists of three classrooms.

Principal of Errigal College, Mr. Danny McFadden said, “We are delighted to have the Minister here to officially open our new building.

“This was an opportunity for us to showcase our wonderful students and school. We promote equality of opportunity for all, unrestricted by background, ability, language or gender.

“We know that opportunity creates success, and we are fortunate to have the expertise and facilities to provide opportunities to all our students”.

Minister for Education, Norma Foley T.D. said, “It is an honour to be here to officially open Errigal College’s new modular building comprising ten classrooms and SEN spaces. I know the opening of these fine facilities will see students continue to thrive. I want to thank all the staff for the wonderful work that they do every day.”
