Listellick NS Principal Annette Dineen with Fr Amos and pupils at a special blessing of the construction site of the new school on Friday.
THE weather gods were not smiling down on the site of the new Listellick school building on Friday, but nonetheless, spirits were high for a special blessing ceremony.
Cahalane Brothers construction company began work at the site — just metres up the road from the current school building — back on August 9.
Fr Amos Surungai from Our Lady and St Brendan’s Church, braved the wind and the drizzle to give a blessing in the presence of a few pupils, Principal Annette Dineen and members of the board of management.

The construction is expected to take a year and it’s hoped teachers and pupils will be in situ in their new surroundings by October next year.
The building, which will be a single storey structure, will include eight classrooms, resource rooms, a library and a sports hall.
