Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 1 December 2004
231 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Education and Science the purpose of the feasibility study being undertaken with regard to the expansion of a school (details supplied) in Dublin 1; if her Department has a role in the study; the role of the Dublin Docklands Development Authority in the study; and if the future needs for pre-school education in the north docklands can be included in the study. [31828/04]
View answerThe management authorities of three schools in the area referred to by the Deputy are in discussion with my Department regarding the possible reorganisation of first level educational provision. My Department has agreed that a feasibility study should be undertaken to assess the optimum delivery method for school accommodation to serve any new configuration which may arise from these discussions.
The Dublin Docklands Development Authority, in its capacity as the development agency for the area, has agreed to fund and carry out this feasibility study. My Department will provide technical and educational input as necessary. Any provision which would normally be provided in the schools concerned will be considered as part of this feasibility study.
