Work begins on new Archbishop McHale College building in Tuam

Construction on a new school building has commenced at Archbishop McHale College in Tuam. The contract for the major building project has been awarded to Galway-based firm, FVG Construction.
The works at the school will be carried out in two phases and will see the existing building replaced with a new state of the art facility. Archbishop McHale College is a co-educational, multi-denominational school under the patronage of Galway Roscommon Education and Training Board. Student numbers at the school have been rising steadily over the past few years, and there has been a lengthy campaign for a new building.
The new school building will open its doors to students for the first time in September 2018. Principal Eileen Delaney says the new school will have a range of modern facilities and will cater for up to 400 students.
