Bruckless NS
Bruckless N.S. celebrated the recent renovations of their old toilet facilities in glorious sunshine on Wednesday 19th June.
Board of Management members, parents, neighbours and staff were entertained by music provided by all the pupils, ably lead by Mrs. Mary Maguire (conducting) and Mr. Mark O’Driscoll on accompanying accordion.
The new entrance and works were officially opened by Fr. Rory Brady. In his speech, Mr. Lorcan O’Toole (Principal), acknowledged the work of his predecessor, Mr. Daire Diver, in applying for the works to be completed under the guidance of Peter McFarlane (building consultant). Mr. O’Toole also noted that there is still more to come.
The work included new heating, insulation, a universal/wheelchair accessible toilet, a new secretary’s office, a principal’s workspace, new entrance door and reception area.
Also, at a minimum cost to the school and after nearly 100 years, a staff room was added to the plans after some observation of the plans by Mr. O’Toole.
The work was completed by Paul Breslin construction. The project is another step in the modernisation and future proofing of Bruckless N.S. and its near 100-year-old building. The project has reignited pride in the school and further empowered a sense of belonging and enhancing the well-being of pupils and staff alike.
