Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 February 2012
192 Deputy Paschal Donohoe asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding the status on the provision of a new school (details supplied) in Dublin 1 and that the construction was to be part-funded by the Dublin Docklands Development Authority; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10840/12]
View answerThe Dublin Docklands Development Authority (DDDA) has informed my Department that it is no longer in a position to fund this project. The DDDA had committed to provide €6 million or 75% of the costs for this project and as such was the main funding agent for the project. As this funding is no longer available from the DDDA the project will not now proceed as originally planned.
The Department will shortly publish an outline five year programme on the projects to be constructed in that time. School building projects currently in architectural planning, including the project for this school, will be considered in the context of that programme.
