125. Deputy Thomas Byrne asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of the agreed new school to replace a school (details supplied) in order to provide needed spaces for Newbridge, County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9819/20]
View answerI can confirm for the Deputy that my Department is currently undertaking a site identification exercise in order to appraise suitable sites for the school to which you refer. This exercise is being conducted in line with current restrictions in place due to the covid-19 pandemic, nevertheless, my officials are making progress on the exercise. The exercise is considering options in Kildare & Newbridge. Due to obvious commercial sensitivities, I cannot elaborate any further at this juncture but please rest assured that the project is being given due consideration and attention.
