To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if the joint application by schools (details supplied) for additional accommodation of three prefabricated general classrooms will be expedited; if the approval and funding for same will be provided within a defined timeframe that will ensure the additional accommodation is in situ by the commencement of the school year in September 2019; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department discussed the matter of temporary accommodation with the patron, Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board (KWETB) during a site visit relating to the construction of the new schools at the campus. My Department clarified to the patron that there is adequate accommodation in an existing KWETB property to cater for additional enrolments pending construction of the new permanent school buildings and that the need for additional temporary accommodation does not therefore arise.
