I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the patron of the school referred to, Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board (KWETB), will progress the delivery of interim accommodation to address the school’s accommodation requirement for the 2021/22 academic year.

KWETB, fully supported by the Department, and fully conscious of the urgent need for this interim accommodation, is working diligently to provide for its delivery as quickly as possible. However, and in tandem, KWETB and its design team are working closely with school management to identify potential temporary contingency arrangements that might need to be put in place pending delivery of the necessary interim accommodation.
