Kildare & Wicklow ETB has received eight expressions of interest for the completion of the project to which the Deputy refers within the timeframe set for receipt of same.  These expressions of interest will now inform the pre-qualification process that is underway.  The project remains on target to issue tender documents to the relevant contractors on 8th November which is the date that had been identified in the agreed programme for completion of these projects.

KWETB is continuing to examine the options for accommodation for the Gaelcholáiste referred to by the Deputy which will involve consideration of the timing and availability of appropriate infrastructure in the area.
