The treatment of Inishowen residents over the prolonged delay to the Buncrana ‘Three School Campus’ project has been labelled as ‘shocking’ by a Donegal County Councillor.
The proposed school campus will be home to Crana College secondary school, Buncrana Gaelscoil and the second level Gaelcolaiste Coláiste Chineál Eoghain.
Fianna Fail’s Rena Donaghey, speaking recently at a council meeting in Carndonagh, said it was time the project was ‘moved on’ once and for all.
She said: “It is shocking the way this has gone and how this did not move in the last ten years until a time that the site was actually sold.
“And we have been told now, by the department, that they are looking towards another site and that is great but those years were literally all water under the bridge.
“In 2014, when all the planning and checks were done by the ETB, at that time, it was time to move on and buy the site,” she added.
“But the department decided to start all over and hand it all over to Donegal County Council and start all the assessments and checks again.
“That site is now sold, and good luck to the person who bought it, but it is shocking the way the people of Inishowen were treated.”
“We are nearly at the end of another school term and we are really back at stage one.”
