Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 July 2004
299 Mr. Healy asked the Minister for Education and Science the position regarding the request by Tipperary SR VEC for approval to the purchase of land at the rear of a centre (details supplied) in County Tipperary to facilitate the amalgamation of the three second level schools in Carrick-on-Suir; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20462/04]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, agreement has been reached with the management authorities of the three existing post-primary schools in Carrick-on-Suir to develop a single post-primary school in the centre. The question of the purchase of a suitable site for the proposed new school is currently under consideration in my Department. The Deputy will appreciate, however, that due to the commercial sensitivities of site acquisition, I am unable to comment on the potential purchase of specific sites.
