Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 April 2024
291. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Education if she is aware of the serious parking issues at a school (details supplied) which endanger students being collected from school; that this is particularly acute for children with additional needs; and the steps her Department plans to take to resolve this situation until such time as the new school is built. [18885/24]
View answerI am pleased to inform the Deputy that in Q1 of 2023 formal approval was issued to an ongoing ASA project nearby allowing them to utilise an adjacent department-owned land for traffic management associated with that school and the school in question. This is a very positive step forward for the future of both projects, which should assist in terms of alleviating significant planning concerns identified at pre-planning stage by Fingal County Council.
The Design team of the ongoing Additional School Accommodation (ASA) project have been advised to liaise with the school in question regarding this.
My department will continue to engage with the school authority to provide practical advice and assistance on the project.
