Currently, there are 17 school building projects under the Large Scale Programme and 30 school building projects under the Additional Accommodation Scheme are at various stages of planning and design in Co Kildare. Full details on these projects are available on my Department's website on .

Arrangements in relation to after-school services are dealt with locally at individual school level rather than centrally by my Department. My Department has guidelines in place for use of school buildings for after school provision. These are available at assets.gov.ie/24484/ca5b1787db1b47f98de31f57e977dad0.pdf
