Minister for Education Norman Foley has told a Kildare TD that a potential site has been identified for Leixlip Educate Together (LET).

The Fianna Fáil TD told Sinn Féin's Réada Cronin TD that 'a Minister-owned site' has been identified for the group's new and much-needed premises.

"HSE figures released to SF spokesperson on Disability and Carers Pauline Tully TD show that almost 5,000 people across the state are waiting for a carer to be allocated to them despite being approved: these are not statistics, they are real people, in real need."placeholder image

Commenting on the announcement, Ms Cronin said: "This is great news for all who are waiting. I’m glad to see there is good movement here because Educate Together Leixlip is so important to our community’s current and future education needs.

"We have a young, dynamic community in North Kildare with lots of people moving to our area, either with young children or starting families.

"The education needs of those children are absolutely critical.

She added: "It’s vital that public representatives in North Kildare work with the schools and their support groups to get the best possible outcome for our current and future students; as politicians, we can do so much more for our community when we work together locally."
