Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 November 2018
198. Deputy Brendan Howlin asked the Minister for Education and Skills further to Parliamentary Question No. 66 of 7 November 2018, the timeline for the new accommodation to be provided for a school (details supplied) in view of the fact that the lease on its temporary premises expires in April 2019; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47693/18]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, a major capital project to provide permanent accommodation for the school in question is being addressed through my Department's Capital Programme.
It is envisaged that this accommodation will be provided through a campus arrangement with a local Institute of Further Education on its current site. This project will also include the redevelopment and provision of enhanced accommodation for the Institute. In the context of initiating architectural planning for the project, my Department is liaising with Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board. My Department will also continue to liaise with the school's Patron in this regard.
