Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 October 2006
596 Mr. Gogarty asked the Minister for Education and Science when a new school will be built in Saggart as outlined in the Saggart Local Area Plan; if her Department will take a proactive approach in setting up such a school; if she acknowledges that further housing rezoning will necessitate additional classrooms to the eight class facility outlined; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerMy Department is in receipt of an application for additional accommodation from the existing primary school in Saggart. However, the school site cannot accommodate the extent of extra accommodation required for this developing area. Consequently, it is the Department's intention to develop additional provision on a greenfield site. The issue of the site is being progressed in consultation with South Dublin County Council and the relevant landowners. When this matter has been finalised, progress on the proposed project can be considered under the School Building Programme.
