communication with stakeholders, the company ensured that challenges were effectively resolved, allowing the project to stay on track. One of Northern Ireland’s longest-standing construction firms, Connolly & Fee takes pride in its multi-disciplinary approach. The company’s ability to manage design- and-build, develop-and-construct and build-only projects is complemented by its strong relationships with consultancy and supply chain partners. For this project, the team collaborated with expert consultants to develop practical designs that met the client’s brief while adhering to the highest standards of quality and safety. This integrated approach allowed Connolly & Fee to deliver exceptional results, from the initial design phase to the final handover. The high level of coordination between all parties ensured that every aspect of the project was executed to perfection.

The new facilities represent a significant milestone for the Gaelscoil Uí Dhochartaigh community. Speaking at the sod-cutting ceremony in April 2023, Education Permanent Secretary Dr Mark Browne said, “Today represents a key milestone for Gaelscoil Uí Dhochartaigh. The significance of this £7.2m investment will be reflected in the many benefits it will deliver for pupils, school staff and local families.” Connolly & Fee was delighted to be part of such a meaningful initiative. Offering local children the opportunity to learn in modern, spacious facilities is a source of pride for the company. This project not only showcases its ability to deliver complex educational builds but also reflects its dedication to making a positive impact on local communities. The project was completed in October 2024, with First Minister Michelle O’Neill officially opening Gaelscoil Uí Dhochartaigh, which will provide a

vibrant and dynamic learning space for years to come. The investment in Gaelscoil Uí Dhochartaigh demonstrates the value of enhancing educational infrastructure across Northern Ireland. This project stands as a testament to Connolly & Fee’s expertise, innovation and commitment to excellence, reinforcing its position as a leader in Northern Ireland’s construction industry.
