Question:

374 Mr. Dukes asked the Minister for Education and Science if he has agreed to purchase a site for Gaelscoil Cill Dara, Curragh, County Kildare; if not, when a decision on the purchase of the site will be made; if the Department of Defence has responded to his Department's request for permission to widen the entrance to the site; if not, when a response will be received; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6133/99]

Minister for Education and Science (Mr. Martin)

No agreement has yet been made to purchase a site for Gaelscoil Cill Dara, County Kildare. My Department has indicated an interest in purchasing a site but there are difficulties with proper access. My Department has communicated with the Department of Defence on this issue and is considering the response received.
