Norma Foley says "demographic data" on the area is being "kept under review".
The Dept. of Education has no plans to deliver an additional Gaelscoil in Naas.
Education Minister, Norma Foley, was responding to questions from Kildare North Fianna Fáil TD, James Lawless.
The planned establishment of a new primary school in 2021 to serve the Naas School Planning Area was announced in 2018 as a result of a countrywide demographic exercise.
The Minister says "My Department is satisfied that demand at present in the Naas School Planning Area can be accommodated by the existing and growing schools in this area (including an established Gaelscoil - Gaelscoil Nás na Ríogh). As a result, the establishment of the planned new school was deferred."
She adds, however, that "The pace of delivery of additional residential development in this school planning area, along with updated enrolment data and demographic data will be kept under review and this will inform the timing of school requirements."
