197 Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will detail plans to replace prefab accommodation at a school (details supplied) in Dublin 24; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13886/12]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware I recently announced an initiative to replace rented prefabs in schools. Almost 200 schools have been offered an opportunity to replace rented prefabs with permanent accommodation. The school referred to by the Deputy is one of the schools being offered grant aid to replace rented prefabs.
198 Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to build a new primary school at a location (details supplied) in Dublin 24; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13887/12]
View answerI take it that the Deputy is referring to Scoil Caitlín Maude. I can confirm that my Department is currently examining an application for improved accommodation from the school in question. So that the matter can be considered fully, a technical assessment of the site on which the school is located is required. Officials from my Department will be in further contact with the school authorities in this regard.
