For the installation of a single biomass boiler enclosure and two new 2

Bailieborough Community School has applied to Cavan County Council for the installation of a single biomass boiler enclosure and two new 2,000‑litre LPG tanks to be situated south of the school on Virginia Road in Tanderagee. The application (reference 2660235) was lodged on 8 May 2026, with the council’s decision due by 2 July 2026. On 1 July 2026 the council issued a conditional approval for the works.

The proposed enclosure will house a biomass boiler, while the two LPG tanks are intended to provide additional fuel storage for the school’s heating system. The project is part of the school’s broader commitment to sustainable energy; earlier this year the school reached the finals in the 2026 Green‑Schools catwalk competition.

Cavan County Council has not yet released detailed plans or timelines for construction, but the conditional approval means that the works can proceed once any further conditions are satisfied. The council will monitor compliance with environmental and safety standards during installation.

The decision is expected to support the school’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency across its facilities.
