EUR2m funding for new Monaghan theatre
A new home for Monaghan's Garage Theatre will be developed as part of a wider education complex earmarked for the Irish town's old Defence Forces barracks on Armagh Road.
Jimmy Deenihan, minister for arts, heritage and the Gaeltacht, has awarded EUR2m (£1.8m) towards the new venue, which will replace the existing Garage Theatre opened in 1992. Monaghan Vocational Educational Committee (VEC) is heading plans for the new EUR35m (£30.7m) educational complex, which will also comprise a shared sports hall.
Oppermann Associates and HawkinsBrown have worked on the design of the complex, with the theatre to boast a 300-seat auditorium, rehearsal space and other auxiliary facilities. A16-classroom all Irish Primary School for Gaelscoil Ultain; a 400-pupil all Irish Post Primary School for Colaiste Oiriall; and an Institute of Further Education are also planned.
John Sisk and Sons is to deliver the project. Details: www.garagetheatre.com
