As the Deputy is aware, a building project for the school to which he refers is included in the Department's 6-Year Construction Programme. In the context of progressing the building project, my Department has undertaken a site visit to the school. My Department is currently considering the options available to meet the school's accommodation needs and my Department will be in further contact with the school's Patron when this has been determined.

I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department does not hold the details requested by the geographical area to which he refers.
However, the current status of the 29 school building projects in County Kildare that are included on the Department's 6 Year Capital Programme is outlined in the attached table.
The Capital Programme also provides for devolved funding for additional classrooms to schools where an immediate enrolment need has been identified or where an additional teacher has been appointed. Responsibility for delivering such projects rests with the individual school authority.
Details of such funding approved in all schools, including Kildare, is available on my Department's website and this is updated regularly.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 204 and 205 together. The schools referred to by the Deputy are currently under construction and the projects are due to be completed by the end of July 2017. The new school buildings will be handed over immediately following completion.
