"I would like to take this opportunity to extend my best wishes to all involved who’ve worked so hard to bring this project to completion, the principal, Tríona Uí Mhaoldomhnaigh, former principal, Iseult Ní Chléirigh, staff, parents and the wider community."
During his visit to Scoil Bhríde, Minister Quinn also raised the school’s fourth Green Flag.
He praised the school for its involvement in the Green Schools Programme.
"I am delighted to hear that you have been awarded four Green Flags," he said.
"Involvement in such important initiatives fosters a strong sense of citizenship and leadership among pupils and staff and spreads far outside the school into the wider community."
