Question:

248 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason for the delay in the building project for Gaelscoil Osraí, Kilkenny; the time frame for the project; if the project will be completed by the beginning of the new school year; if the integrity of the site detailed in the original application for planning permission will not be interfered with; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13457/99]

Minister for Education and Science (Mr. Martin)

A contract has been placed and construction is well under way for Gaelscoil Osraí. It is expected that the works will be completed by September 1999.

I understand an approach was made to my Department to sell a section of the site but this has not been acceded to.
