    The amalgamation of three of Galway’s oldest educational establishments will create a new second-level school in the heart of the city with the capacity to cater for up to 1,000.

    The merger of St Mary’s College with Our Lady’s College – itself the result of an alliance between the former Presentation and Mercy Convent less than three years ago – will see the opening of the new school as a co-ed in September 2021.
    Three into one essentially.

    The school will be located on the Mary's Campus, that means quite a bit of prime real estate will become available in the city. Hope it's going to be used in a way that benefits many.

    Yes was thinking that . Pres have a new build and old school +Mercys building on Newtownsmyth
    Accommodation surely best here. Im sure some funds or developers have been considering these
    Some massive other derelict or underused sites in city centre which could be housing eg Connacht Laundry
