A planning application for expanded childcare provision in the Lifford area has received a conditional decision from Donegal County Council. The board of management of Gleneely National School, working with Sara Fitton of Cherry Blossom Childcare, sought permission to use part of the existing school premises in Gleneely, Killygordon to provide full-time pre-school care services operating from 8am to 6pm. The proposal also includes associated site development works. The council issued its conditional decision on the application on 30 April 2026. The scheme would allow the school campus to serve a dual purpose, combining primary education with childcare facilities during extended hours. Further details on any specific conditions attached to the approval can be obtained from Donegal County Council's planning department.
