1656 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Education and Science when he will lodge a planning application for permanent buildings for a school (details supplied) in Dublin 15; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29595/08]
View answerThe project at the school to which the Deputy refers is currently at ‘Stage 1' (i.e. site report and preliminary sketch scheme) of the Architectural Planning Process.
Planning permission will be lodged once the detailed design has been approved. I am not in a position to say at this stage when this will be done.
1657 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Education and Science when construction will begin on permanent buildings for a school (details supplied) in Dublin 15; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29596/08]
View answerThe Department is aware of the accommodation pressures being experienced by the school to which the Deputy refers and is also cognisant of the ever-increasing demand for school places.
The question of when this school can proceed to construction is being considered in the context of the overall school building programme. It is not possible at this stage to say when construction will commence.
