Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 February 2022
105. Deputy Réada Cronin asked the Minister for Education when a commencement date can be given for schools’ (details supplied) campuses given that the work of Kildare County Council has been completed; if the leaders of the schools can be included in future plans and developments; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [4376/22]
View answerMy Department has reached an agreement in principle for the acquisition of the site for the proposed school campus referred to by the Deputy. The process is at an advanced stage and my Department is engaging with the vendor to finalise the details for Heads of Terms for the site.
It is intended that this site will facilitate the construction of the three schools concerned, as part of the campus development. In tandem with the site acquisition, my Department is working on the accommodation briefs for the three schools which is part of the preparatory work associated with the architectural planning process.
My Department is committed to advancing the campus development as quickly as possible and will be in further contact with the schools during this process.
