Text
An extensive list — there were well in excess of 20 schools — was published back then. We were able to move forward on seven projects. Those were Carrickfergus Academy; Dromore High School; Edmund Rice College; Loreto College in Coleraine; Malone Integrated College; Mercy College; and Portadown College. In each of those seven, the integrated consultant teams have been appointed and the initial feasibility studies to explore potential accommodation options for each school are under way.
