James Lawless TD has demanded that the new Minister for Education ensures that the tendering process is progressed quickly for the new school build in Millennium Park in Naas.
James has asked the Minister to detail the construction timeline for Naas Community College. You can read his response here.
James said, “It was important to put the new Minister for Education on notice. This is a vital piece of infrastructure for Naas and the wider area. Anymore delays are completely unacceptable. I asked the Minister to detail a timeline for the build.”
“We need to move to find a tender so construction can be built. This is the next step. I will continue to work with the school, parents, and lobby the Minister and his Department to ensure the project moves to the next stage without delay.”
A new timetable on the Kildare line will come into use from September 10th. However, it has been confirmed that a new timetable with additional services via the Phoenix Park tunnel to Grand Canal Dock in the mornings and, crucially, in the evenings is incoming.
“Like any town, Naas has it’s issues but I think it’s fair to say, given the backlash this article received that the people of Naas believe the pros of living here far outweigh the cons. I respect the manner in which the Leader have held their hands up on this and acknowledged that a mistake was made. The editorial rightly points out that the Leinster Leader has been an institution in Naas for almost 140 years and continues to serve that role throughout the county. A disagreement over one article won’t stop me buying next week’s edition. I think it’s more important than ever that we support print media, especially at local level.”
