On Monday April 9th 2018, Conack Construction Ltd commenced work on our new school building. It is wonderful to see the work finally commence.
We will keep you posted throughout the coming months……
Update 12-March-2018
We would like to take this opportunity to inform you that building works will soon begin at our school in St. Paul’s N.S. It is indeed an exciting time for the whole community of Dooradoyle and beyond, at this long awaited project begins.
The new school building will no doubt serve to bring life and vibrancy into the whole community. Historically our school has facilitated various community groups and we endeavour to continue this practice.
The project will provide a 21st century school environment for the children, parents and staff. It will also continue to support our parish of St. Paul’s and provide parking adjacent to the church.
A new road structure and traffic system will be in operation and this will no doubt impact in a very positive way in our area.
We thank you for your help and continuing support and look forward to enhanced facilities for our whole community. The completed project should come to fruition by the end of August 2019.
Time Line : Commencement notice to be issued in the next week or so and take over of the site by ‘Conack Construction’ will begin 14 days from that time.
Update 6-Feb-2018
The dept has examined the tenders and concurs with the recommendation of our Design Team that the most economically advantageous tender received from Conack Construction Ltd be accepted. As mentioned on Jan 29th a Tender Report Supplement which proves that the builder can complete the job is being compiled to send to the planning and building unit of the Dept of Education. Based on all conditions being met the Dept will issue a letter to the school authorising the Board of Management of St. Paul’s School to issue a letter of acceptance.
We hope to have this process completed by end February/week 1 March so that we can start our project.
Exciting times ahead!!!

The Dept have givven the green light to a local builder who now has to prove that he is DES compliant i.e. submit insurance documents, finance details etc., to the Dept to ensure that he can complete the job in approx. 15 months.
This process takes approx. 3 weeks so we are still on target to start end of February.
Update 22-Jan-2018
