Galway Bay Fm newsroom-Clifden Community School has been granted more time to demolish the existing school building.
The Board of Management plan to demolish the existing building and associated prefabs and build a new structure.
The old building will be replaced by a new part two-storey and part three-storey complex along with a new school entrance at Ardbear.
The project was retendered by the Department of Education’s design team after encountering previous setbacks.
The school was built in 1979 and does not meet modern day standards.
The new build will cost 10 million euro and will cater for up to 400 students.
County planners have now extended permission for the project until July 2020.
