233 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Science the position in regard to extra requirements and facilities at a school (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19814/04]
View answerI am pleased to advise the Deputy that provision was made for additional accommodation to be provided at the school to which he refers, as part of my announcement of an additional €30 million investment in school buildings. My Department has devolved authority and responsibility for the delivery of this project to the school and its design team. The tendering process has commenced and it is envisaged that the project will proceed to construction later this year.
