Vol. 423 No. 5

Written Answers. - Jobstown (Dublin) Community College.

Pat Rabbitte

Question:

75 Mr. Rabbitte asked the Minister for Education the stage planning is at for phase two of Jobstown Community College, County Dublin; if his attention has been drawn to the acute problem of accommodation facing this school in 1993; and when building work on phase two is expected to commence.

The examination of the application from County Dublin Vocational Education Committee for additional accommodation at Jobstown Community College is now being finalised within my Department and a report will shortly be submitted to me on the matter.

I am aware of local concern regarding accommodation difficulties which may arise in the school in 1993 but my Department must also take into account surplus pupil places which may be available in adjacent schools within a reasonable travelling distance.

Until I have received and considered my Department's report I am not in a position to say what decisions will be taken in relation to the application.
