The project to which the Deputy refers has been devolved for delivery to the National Development Finance Agency (NDFA) as part of a programme of school building projects. This school is in the bundle referred to as ‘Project Boyne’.

The Planning Application for this project has been lodged with Kildare County Council and the final grant of planning is anticipated in Q2 2023. The project will then proceed to tender and construction in due course.

At this stage it is not possible to provide an accurate timeline for completion of the project; the NDFA will be engaging directly with the school authority to keep it informed of progress.
