My Department is committed to providing a permanent accommodation solution for the school referred to by the Deputy. In that regard, a building project for the school to which he refers is included on my Department's 6 year Construction Programme. In the context of progressing the building project, my Department has undertaken a site visit to the school. The next step includes the formulation of the accommodation brief for the project and this process is in train. My Department will be liaising with the school in due course in the context of initiating the architectural planning process for the project.

The building project will be devolved to Kildare Wicklow Educational Training Board (KWETB) for delivery and my Department will be engaging with KWETB shortly in this regard.

The project to which the Deputy refers is progressing satisfactorily. There is no reason at this point in time to suggest that the project will not be completed within contract with the due completion date being May 2019.
