Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 29 February 2012
85 Deputy Martin Heydon asked the Minister for Education and Skills further to Parliamentary Question No. 118 of 22 February 2012, regarding a new school (details supplied) in County Kildare, if his officials have visited any of the proposed sites for the new school; the timeline for identification and acquisition of the final site; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11797/12]
View answerThe Deputy will be aware that my Department has sought the assistance of, and is working closely with, the relevant Local Authority in relation to identifying and acquiring a suitable site for the provision of permanent accommodation for the school he referred to. The Local Authority has identified a number of potential site options and it is intended to carry out joint site inspections of these sites with the Local Authority soon. Once a suitable site has been identified and acquired, the proposed building project will be considered in the context of the capital budget available to my Department for school buildings generally.
