Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 March 2014
121. Deputy Patrick Nulty asked the Minister for Education and Skills to set out the position regarding a facility (details supplied) in County Dublin; the timeframe for when repairs will be carried out; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10939/14]
View answerThe facility referred to by the Deputy is in the ownership of Dublin and Dun Laoghaire Education & Training Board (DDLETB).
The ETB has advised my Department that it has had ongoing discussions with Fingal County Council on the possibility of reinstating the pitch to the most risk averse level in the context of future flooding event(s). The ETB has recently agreed with the Council a brief for a report from a specialist consultant which includes the undertaking of a level 3 flood assessment. This report is due to be completed shortly. On receipt of the report, the ETB will review the situation with Fingal County Council and will then revert to my Department.
In the interim, however, it is not possible to provide a timeframe for when the repairs will be carried out.
