Dublin Bay North Labour TD Seán Kenny has welcomed the provision of funding for mechanical works at Gaelscoil Mhide in Greendale.

"Gaelcoil Mhide requires this funding as they continue to provide primary education to our local children."

"I warmly welcome the funding. It is vitally important that the country maintains its educational facilities at primary level, in order to accommodate the increasing numbers of pupils over the next few years. We have to plan ahead for this, and this funding is a part of that planning."

"A five year plan Schools Capital Programme was unveiled earlier this year worth €1.5 billion and the rolling out of this funding is being overseen by Minister for Education Jan O'Sullivan. This funding will see a total of 275 major school buildings projects commenced between now and 2016. The €100 million loan being provided by the European Investment Bank (EIB) will assist in funding this investment. Construction work being supported by this initiative is expected to be completed during 2014."
