I wish to advise the Deputy that the school in question is currently based in temporary accommodation sourced by the school authorities and my Department is providing grant aid for its rental. I understand that the school is experiencing issues with the fabric of the building and in that regard has been liaising with the landlord in the matter.

430. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if she has received recent communication from the authorities at Maynooth Post Primary School, Maynooth Community College and Maynooth Education Campus in County Kildare in regard to the urgently required commencement of works in respect of extra accommodation and facilities; if she accepts the urgency of the situation; if she expects to be in a position to authorise an early start on the project; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I can confirm that I recently received correspondence from the Maynooth Education Campus PTA in relation to the proposed new post-primary school campus for Maynooth.

As the Deputy may be aware, the project in question has been tendered. An assessment of the Tender Report is at an advanced stage in the Department. The project has been devolved for delivery to the Kildare and Wicklow Education Training Board (KWETB). When the examination of the Tender Report has been completed, contact will be made directly with the KWETB with regard to the next steps.
