279 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Science the position in regard to the acquisition of a site for a new national school at Kill, County Kildare; if her attention has been drawn to the need to expedite the process in view of the proximity of the present school to a major road works project and a consequent safety concern arising therefrom; if she expects to achieve progress in this regard in the current year; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

The property management section of the OPW, which acts on behalf of my Department in site acquisitions generally, is continuing to explore the possibility of acquiring a site for Kill national school, Kill, County Kildare. Due to the commercial sensitivities of site acquisitions it is not proposed at this stage to identify specific sites to be acquired.
