133. Deputy Jennifer Whitmore asked the Minister for Education the stage in the design and planning process the proposed extension for a school (details supplied) is at; the reason for the current delay in completing the tender process; the proposed timeline for the completion of the extension; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraThe project to which the Deputy refers has been devolved for delivery to Kildare & Wicklow Educational Training Board (KWETB). I can confirm that a design team to deliver this project has been appointed by the ETB in that respect.
We understand from KWETB that the design team is preparing the Stage 1 report (preliminary design) and it is nearing completion.
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 authority to keep it informed of progress.
