The project to which the Deputy refers has been devolved for delivery to Kildare & Wicklow Education and Training Board (KWETB).

I can confirm that a design team to deliver this project has been appointed by the ETB. My Department has been informed by KWETB that the design team is preparing the Stage 1 report (preliminary design) and it is nearing completion.

While at this early stage it is not possible to provide a timeline for completion of the project, KWETB will be engaging directly with the school authority to keep it informed of progress.

The project to which the Deputy refers has been devolved for delivery to the Board of Management of the school.

The Service Level Agreement (SLA) has been issued to the Board of Management. The Board is currently in the process of procuring a Design Team for the project. Thereafter, it will ensure that the project progresses to design stage, obtains the necessary statutory planning permission, and moves the project onward to tender and construction in due course.

As the project is at an early stage in the delivery process, it is not possible at this time to give a date for its completion.
