Naas town is facing a schools accommodation crisis. Five years ago the Department of Education and Skills instructed that a new secondary school would commence enrolment. Naas Community College duly started and has now enrolled first, second and third year.

Is this in the programme for Government?

I refer to chapter 10 on education and there is a reference on page 98. As I said, the school has duly opened, the patron has purchased a site and planning permission has been granted by Kildare County Council but we are facing a situation in which 231 students applied for places in September 2017 and 111 were turned away.

There is a primary school, Naas community national school, co-located on the same temporary accommodation. If this continues, by 2020 we will have 800 students in temporary accommodation that was created for 500. We urgently need the tender to be issued.

The Deputy has so many colleagues who wish to come in. I will cut the time when it comes.

That is a minute.

Deputies are taking advantage.

I will have to get back to the Deputy to see what point has been reached in the design and development process.
