As the Deputy is aware, my Department's Capital Programme (2016-2021) continues to address the challenges posed by the significant bulge in pupil enrolments going through our schools. The Capital Programme details the school projects that are being progressed through the architectural planning process, including those schools in County Wicklow.

In the context of progressing the school projects referred to, my Department is working on the project briefs and will be liaising with the school authorities with the aim of advancing the projects concerned into the architectural planning process.

My Department's website will continue to be updated with the current status of these building projects www.education.ie- Building Works - Major Projects.
