Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 November 2004
267 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Science the provisions that have been made in the Estimates 2005, or otherwise, to meet the requirements in terms of alternative or new school facilities at a school (details supplied) in County Kildare; if it is anticipated that this project will advance further in the next 12 months; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30908/04]
View answerThe property management section of the Office of Public Works, which acts on behalf of my Department in regard to site acquisitions generally, is continuing to explore the possibility of acquiring a site for the school referred to by the Deputy.
Due to the commercial sensitivities of site acquisitions, it is not proposed at this stage to identify specific sites to be acquired. However, this information will be placed on my Department's website when the relevant acquisitions have been completed.
The question of the provision of new accommodation for the school will be considered further when a site has been acquired.
