I can confirm that agreement in principle has been reached with a landowner for the acquisition of a site at Donaghcumper, Celbridge. This site is presently proposed to facilitate the permanent accommodation needs of St. Patrick's National School, Celbridge Community School and St. Raphael's Special School on a campus type arrangement.Work is progressing and is ongoing in respect of technical matters crucial to the delivery of the acquisition. We are continuing to actively engage regularly with Kildare Co. Co. and the Landowner - in relation to same. It remains a priority for the Department to make progress on this acquisition. Due to the commercially sensitive nature of site acquisitions in general, I am unable to elaborate further but please rest assured that this project is being given our full attention.
