365. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the current position in regard to replacement of accommodation and facilities for a school (details supplied); if she is satisfied that the need can be met within the anticipated deadline given the rapidly expanding population of the area; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The 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 architectural design process. KWETB recently informed my Department that the planning application was lodged with Kildare County Council in Quarter 1 2024. Subject to completion of the planning process, the project will proceed to tender and construction in due course.
While at this stage it is not possible to provide a timeline for completion of this project, KWETB will be engaging directly with the school authorities to keep them informed of progress.
