“This is hugely welcome as families in the area know too well the growing needs of the Greystones Community.

“I want to pay tribute to the staff and principal Ann-Marie Martin who has pursued these two issues relentlessly. St Laurence’s School prides itself on providing the highest level of teaching and learning for their pupils at all times and they are also aware of the absolute necessity of providing a safe environment for the children that attend the school.

“As Taoiseach I will be placing a particular focus on the growing needs of people with disabilities and will constantly work to ensure those needs are met.

Taoiseach Harris concluded: “As a public representative for Wicklow I will continue to work with all schools across the county to ensure their projects are progressed.”

Now, go get some happy right here.
