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

Bailieborough Community School in Tanderagee, Bailieborough, Co Cavan has received a conditional decision from Cavan County Council to install a single biomass boiler enclosure and two new 2,000‑litre LPG tanks. The application, reference 2660235, was submitted on 8 May 2026 and the council’s decision was made on 1 July 2026, with the approval set to take effect from that date.

The proposed works will be carried out south of the school site at Virginia Road (A82 P585). The biomass boiler enclosure is intended to provide a more sustainable heating option for the school, while the LPG tanks are meant to supplement energy supply during periods when the biomass system may not operate. The council’s decision notes that the approval is conditional, meaning certain conditions must be met before construction can commence.

The school has indicated that the new heating infrastructure will support its educational and community activities by ensuring reliable warmth throughout the year. Local residents have expressed interest in the project as part of broader efforts to improve energy efficiency within the county.
