Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 February 2024
277. Deputy Pádraig O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Education to provide an update on the progression of an application by a school (details supplied) going to tender for a new school; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [7591/24]
View answerThe project to which the Deputy refers is part of a school campus project.
It has been devolved for delivery to Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board (KWETB).
I am pleased to inform you that the pre-qualification process for the project is underway and once complete and following Departmental approval, KWETB will continue with the tender process for appointing a contractor and onwards to construction in due course.
It is not possible at this time to give a date for its completion, but KWETB will be engaging directly with the school authority to keep it informed of progress in this respect.
