Emmet Stagg

Question:

623 Deputy Emmet Stagg asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason he has suspended negotiations on the purchase of a site for a permanent school building for a school (details supplied) in County Kildare; if he intended to mislead Kildare County Council during the planning process for the temporary prefabricated school for this school; and his views on whether his failure to pursue the site for a permanent school building is a breach of faith to both Kildare County Council and the pupils of the temporary school. [28508/08]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Science (Deputy Batt O’Keeffe)

The acquisition of a site for the school in question will be considered in the context of the capital budget available to my Department. I am not in a position to say at this stage when the acquisition will be concluded.
