As you may be aware, Officials in The Department of Education are currently in advanced negotiation with a landowner, in regard the proposed acquisition of a site deemed suitable for the replacement Curragh post primary school to which you refer. The proposal also seeks to cater for expected demographic demand in the area. This negotiation is ongoing, in line with our comprehensive site selection criteria, technical consideration and input from Kildare County Council.
Further announcements will be made when it becomes possible to do so. Due to obvious commercial sensitivities, I cannot elaborate any further at this juncture but please rest assured that the project is being given priority attention.
