As the Deputy is aware, a major building project for the school to which he refers is included in my Department's Capital Programme.

This project has been devolved to the school's patron, Kildare Wicklow Education & Training Board (KWETB) for delivery and a design team has been appointed for the project. The role of the design team includes developing proposals relating to all matters associated with the delivery of the project which would include matters such as access to the school site. I understand from KWETB that the Design Team is currently preparing the Stage 1 report (preliminary design).

The major building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is included in my Department’s Construction Programme which is being delivered under the National Development Plan. The project is currently at Stage 1 of architectural planning which entails preliminary site surveys, location suitability and initial sketch scheme.

The Stage 1 report has just been received by my Department. Upon review, my Department will then be in contact with the school and its design team with regard to the further progression of the project.
