In Kildare, a number of major projects are listed, including new school buildings at St Mary’s College in Naas, Curragh Community College, St Farnan’s in Prosperous, and a new special school at St Anne’s in the Curragh.
Plans have been announced to deliver 57,000 additional school places by 2030, supported by more than €7.5 billion in funding.
The programme includes completing almost 300 school projects already under construction, and moving a further 105 projects to tender or construction by the end of 2027.
Just over €2 billion of the funding is earmarked for maintenance and climate upgrades at existing schools.

A major extension and refurbishment project is also included for Cross and Passion College in Kilcullen.

The plan also confirms that some additional capacity will be delivered through modular accommodation, with modular extensions listed for Gaelscoil Uí Fhiaich in Maynooth, Gaelscoil Nás na Ríogh in Naas, and Celbridge Community School.
