The project to which the Deputy refers is devolved to the Kildare & Wicklow Education and Training Board for delivery. The project is at the early stages of architectural planning and the commencement of construction will be dependent on the progress of the project through the various stages of design and the Local Authority planning process.

An unsuccessful planning application including an appeal have delayed progression of the Celbridge Community College.

Discussions are ongoing with the local authority to resolve the contentious issues. Pending finalisation of these matters unfortunately I am unable to provide a timeline for completion of the project.

The project to which the Deputy refers is devolved to the Kildare and Wicklow ETB for delivery. I understand that tenders for the project were recently received and a tender report is now being prepared. I expect the project to go on site early next year with a contract duration of some 18 months.
