As the Deputy is aware, it is intended that the permanent accommodation needs of the school to which she refers will be met in the former Maynooth Post-Primary school building.
The school is currently located in temporary accommodation in Manor Mills pending delivery of permanent accommodation.
In the interim, my Department has approved funding to the school's patron to undertake refurbishment works in a property to facilitate access to additional specialist accommodation by the school. This accommodation includes science, woodwork and home economics rooms.
The delivery of the refurbishment project has been devolved to the patron of the school for delivery and the patron has advised my Department that the works are near completion. My Department will continue to engage with the patron regarding the school's accommodation needs.
