Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 January 2014
269. Deputy Patrick Nulty asked the Minister for Education and Skills when a new school building will be provided for a school (details supplied) in Dublin 15; and if he will provide an update on progress on this project. [3875/14]
View answerI am pleased to advise the Deputy that a building project for the school to which he refers is currently at an early stage of the architectural planning process. The school authority and their Design Team are currently completing the Stage 2(a) report for submission to my Department. Following satisfactory completion of this report and subject to no issues arising, the project will be authorised to commence the application for statutory approvals, which includes the application for planning permission.
School building projects, including the project referred to by the Deputy, which have not been included in the five year construction programme, will continue to be progressed to final planning stages in anticipation of the possibility of further funds being available to the Department in the future.
