The school referred to by the Deputy was approved to enter the departments pipeline of school buildings for a project to provide 4 SET/Pastoral Rooms, 1 Multi-Media room, 1 Music Room, 1 Textiles Room, 1 Art Room, Project store, 3 SEN Class Base, and reconfiguration works to existing Multimedia Room to revert to 1 Mainstream Classroom.

The project has been devolved for delivery to the Kerry Education and Training Board (ETB).

I can confirm that this project received my departments approval to progress to Stage 2a (detailed design) of the architectural planning design process in March 2025 subject to the incorporation on my department’s comments and recommendations.

It is now a matter for Kerry ETB and the school authority to progress this very important project to the next stage.
