The school has been threatened with closure due to a proposal to merger with St Mogue's College, Bawnboy.

Brendan Smith schools "in-person learning" is most beneficial for children.

The ETB had submitted an application to the Department of Education for capital funding for accommodation at the school under the Additional School Accommodation scheme.

Local TD Brendan Smith complimented Cavan and Monaghan County Councils on their planning and design of these road projects.

A local TD says work will begin right away to advance the project to the design stage.
