Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 October 2006
659 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Science the progress in regard to the provision of an alternative site and accommodation for a school (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34630/06]
View answerThe management authority of the School in question, Co. Kildare Vocational Education Committee, is currently progressing plans to re-locate the School and extend the capacity to 1000 pupils. A formal planning application has been lodged with the Local Authority.
In September of 2006, the Vocational Education Committee notified my Department that the site had just received full planning permission for the education campus and, assuming that the decision is not appealed to An Bord Pleanala, then when the statutory time period elapses, the site will be legally transferred immediately to Kildare Vocational Education Committee.
