Celbridge Community school, which is under the joint patronage of Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board and Educate Together, opened in 2015 in temporary accommodation.

I can confirm that agreement in principle has been reached in respect of the potential acquisition of a site for permanent accommodation. The next stage in the acquisition process is the completion of the conveyancing process.  Officials in my Department are liaising with the vendor in order to progress the acquisition.
