Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 29 June 2023
278. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Education the number of school building projects in County Kildare at planning stage that are currently incorporating the provision of additional buildings for after-school services within their plans, given the need for a seamless service in this area; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [31946/23]
View answerCurrently, there are 17 school building projects under the Large Scale Programme and 30 school building projects under the Additional Accommodation Scheme are at various stages of planning and design in Co Kildare. Full details on these projects are available on my Department's website on www.gov.ie.
Arrangements in relation to after-school services are dealt with locally at individual school level rather than centrally by my Department. My Department has guidelines in place for use of school buildings for after school provision. These are available at assets.gov.ie/24484/ca5b1787db1b47f98de31f57e977dad0.pdf
