The building project to which the Deputy refers is nearing completion. A small number of snagging and defects issues remain to be resolved. It is expected that Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board will take possession of the extension upon satisfactory completion of these works.

The project to which the Deputy refers is on my Department's six year capital programme. The intention is that the project will be devolved for delivery to an outside agency.  Arrangements are currently being made with the agency to facilitate this and, once these arrangements are in place, the next step for the project is the appointment a Design Team who will bring the project through the design and construction phases.

The brief for this project comprises the construction of a new multi-storey extension of approximately 2,972m², and demolition of the existing school.

The project is currently at stage 2a of architectural planning.  After the last stakeholders meeting comments were issued to the design team for follow up. The Department also approved funding for acoustic and landscape consultants to assist with the development of the scheme.

Once Stage 2a is complete, the Department will contact the school with regard to the further progression of the project. This major building project is included on the Department’s six year construction programme 2016-21.
