Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 22 February 2007
196 Ms O’Sullivan asked the Minister for Education and Science the progress made in acquiring a site for a Gaelscoil (details supplied) in County Limerick; if her attention has been drawn to the fact that Limerick County Council has a suitable available site for the school; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [7007/07]
View answerThe Property Management Section of the Office of Public Works (OPW), which acts generally on behalf of my Department in the acquisition of school sites, has been requested to source a site for this school. On foot of advertising a number of proposals were received. A technical assessment of these proposals has been carried out by the OPW and a report is currently with my Department for consideration. Due to the commercial sensitivities of site acquisitions I am not in a position to identify any site under consideration at present. When a suitable site has been secured the project will be considered further in the context of the School Building and Modernisation programme and the National Development Plan.
