Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 February 2014
105. Deputy David Stanton asked the Minister for Education and Skills further to Parliamentary Question No. 224 of 11 February 2014, regarding a new school (details supplied) in County Cork, if he will advise if his Department has a projected start or completion date for the school; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8639/14]
View answerThe school referred to by the Deputy was included in the list of school building projects announced to go to construction in 2014/15 and I can confirm that this project is among those budgeted for in the 5 year capital programme.
The acquisition of a site for permanent accommodation for the school referred to by the Deputy is being progressed by my Department. However, due to the commercially sensitive nature of site acquisitions, I am not in a position to give further details at this time. However, once the acquisition of a site is finalised, a design team for the project will be appointed with a view to its progression to tender and construction.
