Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 5 December 2013
85. Deputy Seán Crowe asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will confirm that a new site has been identified for purchase for a school (details supplied) in Dublin 24; the approximate timescale envisaged for this process; and when parents and teachers from the school may expect a new build to be approved once the site is secured.

View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, my Department 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 to which he refers. Given the sensitivities associated with land acquisitions generally, I am not in a position to comment further at this point in time. The 5 year school building plan which I announced in 2012, outlines the major school projects that will commence construction over the duration of the plan. The school referred to by the Deputy is included in this plan.
