Facilities aren't expected to open until around 2028.
A Laois TD is calling on the government to step up efforts to put in new buildings for a secondary school.
Coláiste Íosagáin in Portarlington is currently waiting on a new school plan to go to tender, which has been in the process over the past 10 years.
Offaly County Council approved plans in 2024 for a major redevelopment of the Portarlington school, increasing its capacity to 1,300 students.
However, facilities aren't expected to open until around 2028.
Deputy Brian Stanley says schools can't be left waiting for new buildings:
