View answerThis project is part of the 2004 school building programme and I am pleased to inform the Deputy that construction work is recently under way on a seven classroom extension at the school in question. It is envisaged that the extension will be completed in the latter half of 2005.
The need for further accommodation in the area referred to by the Deputy is currently under consideration.

View answerThe question of the relocation of St. Patrick's post-primary school, Naas, County Kildare to an alternative site is under examination in my Department at present. Discussions have been held with County Kildare Vocational Education Committee, the local authority and representatives of a developer on the matter. These discussions are ongoing and it is not possible to indicate at this stage when they may be concluded and a final decision taken in the matter.
