Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 December 2013
90. Deputy Michael Moynihan asked the Minister for Education and Skills when work is due to start on the primary school amalgamation (details supplied) in County Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [54488/13]
View answerThis project is being delivered by the Office of Public Works (OPW) on a devolved basis. In August, 2012, a planning application for the delivery of a primary school in Kanturk was lodged by the OPW with Cork County Council. In April 2013, Cork County Council notified the OPW that planning permission for the new school had been refused. Officials in the Building Unit of my Department are working closely with OPW to establish if the issues raised by Cork County Council can be addressed, with a view to lodging a revised planning application for the delivery of the new school at Kanturk once these issues are resolved.
