43. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Education the current position in regard to the provision of a new school (details supplied); the progress on the project to date; when work will be completed, given the number of local primary feeder schools to this particular school and given the level of anticipated applications for the school for 2024; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe project to which the Deputy refers has been devolved for delivery to Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board (KWETB).
It is currently at Stage 2b of the process, which allows for detailed design/planning, obtaining the necessary statutory permissions and the preparation of tender documents. When this stage is finalised, the next stage is tendering for a contractor and then onwards to construction, in due course.
While at this early stage it is not possible to provide a timeline for completion of the project, KWETB will be engaging directly with the school to keep it informed of progress.
