Officials of my Department's planning section meet on a regular basis with the planning department of South Dublin County Council with a view to identifying the need for additional educational provision and reserving sites for schools, where required. Arising from this process, a site for primary school purposes has been reserved in the Saggart area.
A decision on the provision of a new school in Saggart will involve further consultations with the local authority regarding the rate and likely timescale of housing developments in the area.
Officials of the planning section will continue to monitor developments in the area with a view to the timely provision of educational facilities.
