Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 22 July 2020
152. Deputy John Brady asked the Minister for Education and Skills the arrangements for a school (details supplied) without access to a school building at present in view of the lease expired on previous temporary accommodation in June 2020; if a lease agreement has been signed for the new temporary accommodation; and when the school will be given access to the new temporary accommodation. [17488/20]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that a licence arrangement has been agreed between my Department and the landowner of the new temporary accommodation for the school in question.
My Department is in the final stages of signing the contract with the preferred contractor to undertake refurbishment works in this accommodation. It is intended that the contractor will commence on site in the coming days. The school patron has been advised accordingly.
My Department will continue its engagement with the patron relating to these works to ensure that contingency arrangements are in place where necessary.
