Tendering is opening today for a new Secondary School in Laois.
Coláiste Íosagáin in Portarlington is set to benefit from the development of a new two- and three-storey school building, designed to accommodate up to 1,300 students.
Planning permission was initially granted by Offaly County Council in September 2024.
The new state-of-the-art building will also provide purpose-designed facilities for special education with six new classrooms.
Laois TD Sean Fleming says he's looking forward to the tender process being completed "as soon as possible".
