Martin Heydon (Kildare South, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I have raised the need for additional provision of second level in south Kildare in the House several times. The Minister will be familiar with my having raised this point with him. People in south Kildare were very disappointed that we did not secure a new school in the last announcement. Notwithstanding the proposed extensions, we still believe the significant demographic pressures we face in the county, as well as the future projections of population growth in the county, mean we will need a new secondary school. Will the Minister reassure me that the Department continues to keep this under review?
