Planning permission has been granted for the development plan at Castleknock College. Phase 1 of the project will involve the building of a three story link building between Cregan and MacNamara Houses and the refurbishment of MacNamara House, is due to get under way at the end of June this year. The project will cost in the region of 16 million Euro and with no state grants being made available the College will be looking to parents past and present and the community of pastmen to help raise the much needed funding.
