Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Education and Skills

My Department has not received a proposal from the Education and Training Board (ETB) in question regarding the acquisition of premises to accommodate lifelong learning programmes in the North Kildare area. The ETB has informed my Department that it is finalising plans for the development of a centre for Further Education and Training provision in this area and intends to make a submission to my Department shortly.
