345. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Education the extent of progress in ensuring the provision of a new primary school in Newtown, Enfield, County Kildare; the degree to which such provision is capable of meeting the demand in the current and subsequent years; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe school referred to by the Deputy has been approved a project under my Department’s Additional School Accommodation (ASA) scheme for provision of a 2 classroom SEN base.
This project has been devolved to the school authority for delivery.
The Department issued an approval to planning letter to the school authorities in November 2023 and the outcome of this planning application is awaited.
My Department will continue to engage with the school authority to provide any assistance needed to progress this important project.
