@ClaireHanna @DoloresMcCorm20 Hi Claire and Dolores, yes the DP had to be approved prior to sourcing a site. The current location of Blackwater IC 'serves as a barrier' to its future development and sustainability. The location of the new College will be somewhere within the area indicated in the DP.

A reminder of this important community event this Wednesday night at (Lough Moss- not Millennium!) at 7:30. We don’t have enough provision in the post-primary sector in our area, particularly in the integrated sector.

@IEFNI @Kelmba Many congratulations to all, expecially to @Kelmba ....its been a long journey to get to this point, and a long way still to go but this will hopefully ease the path for groups like ourselves to help establish more much needed integrated places within our education system 👏👏

This afternoon the Minister visited @millenniumips where she heard about the school's pride in its status as a Centre of Excellence for Inclusivity. She also visited the Special Education Needs area to see the benefits of integrating SEN in mainstream classes.
