Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 December 2012
166. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reason for the delay in locating a new site for the provision of a new school building (details supplied) in County Cork, a site that funding was ring fenced for in early 2012 and to date no progress has been made. [55184/12]
View answerMy Department is working with the relevant Local Authority in relation to identifying and acquiring a suitable site for the provision of permanent accommodation for the school referred to by the Deputy and options are currently being explored in that regard. However, given the sensitivities associated with land acquisitions generally, I am not in a position to comment further at this point in time.
Once a suitable site has been identified and acquired, it is intended that the proposed building project will be progressed in accordance with the five year programme announced earlier this year.
