I can now inform the deputy that planning permission has been granted for the building project at Kill, Co. Kildare. Tendering for contractors is next stage in the process following receipt of the stage 2b submission, currently awaited by the Department.

The progression of this and all large scale capital building projects in the Department will be considered in the context of the multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.
