Vol. 440 No. 1

Written Answers. - Ashbourne (Meath) Community School.

Mary Wallace

Question:

187 Miss M. Wallace asked the Minister for Education if she will ensure that her Department complies with condition No. 5 of section 84 planning reference No. P91/0647 regarding the placement of a two metre high wall, capped and plastered, between the car park of Ashbourne post-primary school and the adjoining houses.

As required by section 84 of the Local Government (Planning and Development) Act, 1963 my Department consulted with Meath County Council regarding the plans for Ashbourne Community School, a State development for which planning permission under section 24 of the Act was not required.

The council's views have been carefully considered and most of their requirements have been met. However, the request that a concrete wall be built on a section of the boundary was regarded as unreasonable and is unacceptable to the Department which considers that a chain-link fence together with fast growing trees and shrubs will provide a satisfactory boundary.
