View answer791 Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Education and Science further to Parliamentary Question No. 489 of 5 April 2007, if negotiations on the acquisition of a school (details supplied) in Dublin 11 by her Department includes the adjoining playing fields; and, if so, her views on making these available for a local sports club. [20699/07]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 771 and 791 together.
The acquisition process for the site referred to by the Deputy is at an advanced stage. However, due to the commercial sensitivities attaching to site acquisitions generally, I am not in a position to comment further on this matter at this time. I can confirm, however, that the adjoining playing fields are not included in the negotiations.
