My Department is progressing plans to provide a significant expansion to St. Conleth's post-primary school in Droichead Nua, which will provide over 500 additional pupil places for the area. It should also be noted that the newly-opened Community School in the neighbouring Kildare town feeder area is likely to further ease demand and pressure for places in the Newbridge area. My Department will continue to monitor enrolments in the Newbridge area to ensure that there is sufficient school accommodation to meet any future projected demands.
