Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 May 2005
400 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Education and Science if her Department has received a report from the OPW architect who visited Ballybunion, County Kerry, recently to inspect a site for the proposed amalgamation of schools (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [14915/05]
View answerThe property management section of the OPW, which acts on behalf of my Department in regard to site acquisitions generally, was originally requested to investigate the possibility of acquiring a site for the proposed amalgamation of schools referred to by the Deputy.
Subsequently, the school authority identified a possible suitable site. This site was inspected by a member of my Department's technical staff. A report on this inspection is now under consideration. As soon as a decision is made on the matter officials in the building unit of my Department will be in direct contact with the school.
