59. Deputy John Brady asked the Minister for Education to provide an update and estimated timeline for a school building project (details supplied) to include a detailed schedule of works with proposed completion dates; when the additional temporary accommodation units will be implemented; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe project for the school to which the deputy refers is devolved for delivery to Kildare & Wicklow Educational Training Board (KWETB).
The Brief for this project is to provide an extension to the existing school, the demolition of a section of the building and the refurbishment of some of the existing building.
The building project was recently approved by the Department to proceed to Stage 2b of the architectural planning process and the next step for the Design Team will be to obtain the statutory planning approvals.
To address the accommodation needs at the school, the Department has approved additional modular accommodation. The Planning and Building Unit will keep the school’s accommodation needs under review.
At this stage it is not possible to provide details or a timeline for completion of the project, KWETB will be engaging directly with the school authority to keep it informed of progress.
