The official opening of St. Dympna's & St. Nicholas' Special Schools, designed by Trevor McDaid of Hamilton Young, took place recently in Ballina, Co. Mayo. The investment of €5.7m of taxpayers' money in the development of a state-of-the-art new special education centre in Ballina is “money well spent” according to An Taoiseach Brian Cowen.
