The proposed Kildare town-based project for the Curragh Community College has officially progressed to tender.
Back in October of last year, a planning application was submitted to Kildare County Council for the new Curragh Community College on a 4.8 hectare section of the site of the former Magee Barracks in Kildare town.
It is estimated that the Curragh Community College will be able to accommodate around 1,000 students.
Kildare South TD Martin Heydon Kildare has said that he welcomes the confirmation from the Department of Education that the project has been given approval to proceed to tender.
The Fine Gael politician said: "The approval to go to tender on this project is another important step towards a new school build for the Curragh Community College which is long awaited.
"The new school is crucial for delivering increased secondary school capacity across the south Kildare area in the years to come.
"As our population continues to grow, we need to ensure sufficient capacity at both primary and post primary level and this major building project is an important part of that.
"I continue to keep the pressure on this and other school building projects to be completed as soon as possible", Mr Heydon concluded.
