In a statement the Taoiseach Simon Harris has welcomed the development:

“I am so pleased to see this development for Scoil Naohm Iosaf. The issue of school places shortages is an issue I have been dealing with first hand and one that I have been seeking to tackle relentlessly especially in Wicklow. I am acutely aware that more classrooms means more space which provides young children with better learning environments. As such the announcement of new classrooms is overwhelmingly positive for children and parents."
