“Naas is one of the fastest growing areas in Ireland (and) another school is desperately needed,” he said.
The councillor asked if any sites are being bought by the Department of Education for the provision of new schools in Naas, Sallins, Kill and Johnstown “given the substantial increase in population and development in these areas.”?
