Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 11 July 2024
222. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Education the current position in regard to replacement of accommodation and facilities for a school (details supplied); if she is satisfied that the need can be met within the anticipated deadline given the rapidly expanding population of the area; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe project to which the Deputy refers has been devolved for delivery to Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board (KWETB).
It is currently at Stage 2b of the architectural design process. The planning application was lodged with Kildare County Council in Quarter 1 2024 but a Request for Further Information (RFI) has been issued; the Design Team along with KWETB is progressing through this request.
Subject to any further issues arising during the planning process, the project will proceed to tender and construction in due course.
KWETB will be engaging directly with the school authority to keep them informed of the progress.
