Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 October 2022
379. Deputy Steven Matthews asked the Minister for Education the position regarding any recent meetings held between her Department and the Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board in relation to a new school building for a school (details supplied); the status of this project; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [49547/22]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, the project he refers to has been devolved for delivery to Kildare & Wicklow Education and Training Board (KWETB).
I am pleased to inform you that the Design Team recently submitted the Stage 2a report (developed design) to the Department for review and a meeting has been scheduled with KWETB, the Design Team and school representatives in the coming weeks.
Once the Stage 2a submission is approved by my Department, the next step for the Design Team will be to obtain the statutory planning approvals. When these are in place, the project can proceed to tender and construction.
