Dublin North East Labour TD Sean Kenny has welcomed the news of progress on the school building project at St. Francis of Assisi and Educate Together at Belmayne.

"I was very pleased to hear from the Minister for Education, Ruairi Quinn that the tender process for the appointment of a design team for the school building project at St. Francis of Assisi and Educate Together at Belmayne is nearing completion."

"I am told by Minister Quinn that a final check of the preferred candidates insurances and tax clearance is under way. Once this is complete, assuming no issues arise, the contracts of appointment will issue to the design team consultants. The Department will shortly publish an outline five year programme on the projects to be constructed in that time. School building projects currently in architectural planning, including the project for these new schools, will be considered in the context of that programme."

"This is good news for Belmayne and Balgriffin residents, as it shows that their communities are continuing to grow and develop. As the number of children in the area increases, their educational needs will be met."
