Today, Wicklow Fine Gael Minister Simon Harris met with Principal Ruairi Farrell of Greystones Community College and reassured Greystones Community College of his total and full support for the school’s building project.

Speaking after their meeting, Minister Harris said, “Greystones Community College has been an incredible addition to our community, and I am absolutely determined that the new building project that has been promised for the school is delivered as a priority. This week I discussed this matter with the Minister for Education and other Government colleagues to ensure that Greystones Community College does not get left behind”.

“This morning’s meeting with Principal Farrell was very useful to gain an update from his perspective, and I intend to vigorously pursue this issue and make sure we receive concrete timelines as to when progress will be made. The staff along with the current and future students of Greystones Community College deserve no less”.

“In recent years, we have seen a very significant amount of investment and progress in Greystones school buildings, and indeed across County Wicklow. Greystones, my own hometown, has gone from being a town with only one secondary school to now having three.

“We have seen expansions in Temple Carrig, refurbishments and an expansion in St. David’s, and now the final piece in the jigsaw is that we see Greystones Community College receive its permanent home and a state-of-the-art building.

“I will endeavour to continue to keep the residents of Greystones updated on this matter and will keep working to ensure that this vital facility is delivered for the Greystones community,” Minister Harris concluded.
