The major building project referred to by the Deputy is at an advanced stage of architectural planning Stage 2b (Detailed Design), which includes the application for statutory approvals and the preparation of tender documents. A decision to grant Planning Permission was received from Kildare County Council on 20 December 2017.
The Design Team is currently working on the Stage 2b report which will be submitted through the Board of Management to my Department.
Upon receipt and review of this report my Department will revert to the Board of Management with regard to the further progression of the project at that time.
