252. Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will confirm if the lease for a school (details supplied) in Dublin 5 has been signed between his Department and the vocational education committee; and if so, if he will clarify if there is any provision for the KUBs basketball club; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26828/13]
View answerI can confirm to the Deputy that the lease of the property to which he refers between my Department and the City of Dublin VEC has been signed. In line with overall Government policy in relation to the use of school buildings for community purposes, I understand that the VEC is working closely with the KUBs basketball club in relation to finalising a user agreement for the ongoing use of part of the property. I can also confirm that the VEC is facilitating the continued use of part of the property by the club pending finalisation of the user agreement.
