View answerThe Deputy will be aware that the project to which he refers has been devolved for delivery to Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board (KWETB).
My Department has given approval to KWETB to proceed with the appointment of a Design Team for the project. That process is currently underway. At this early stage it is not possible to provide a timeline for completion of same.
I can confirm that the building works will include a 4 classroom SEN Base.
