Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 24 September 2008
1847 Deputy Richard Bruton asked the Minister for Education and Science if his Department retains a compensable interest in buildings and equipment provided at State expense in circumstances in which a school building located on religious lands closes and it is proposed to sell. [30324/08]
View answerMy Department has in the past sought a consideration where a school building on religious or other Patron lands closes. If equipment was supplied by the Department, then it remains Department property to be used as the Department determines. However if the equipment is supplied by local fundraising then the Board of Management should determine what to do.
