I am pleased to advise the Deputy that the building project referred to has been devolved for delivery to Kildare & Wicklow Education and Training Board (KWETB).

The execution of a Service Level Agreement (SLA) between the Department and KWETB, is currently being arranged.

Once the SLA is in place, the ETB will procure a design team for the project to design the buildings, obtain the necessary statutory planning permissions, and move the project onward to tender and construction in due course.

As the project is at an early stage in the delivery process, it is not possible at this time to give a date for completion. The ETB will be engaging directly with the school authority to keep it informed of progress.
