111. Deputy Sandra McLellan asked the Minister for Education and Skills further to Parliamentary Questions Nos. 63 and 64 of 27 March 2014, if a site has been identified for a school (details supplied) in County Cork as announced in local newspapers on 8 May; when work will commence on the new school; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that my Department has been working in conjunction with Cork County Council towards securing a permanent site to meet the needs of the school referred to by the Deputy.
I can confirm that potential options have been identified and my Department is progressing the current preferred option. However the acquisition of the preferred site option is subject to the completion of a process which is currently ongoing.
The building project for the school referred to by the Deputy was included in the list of projects announced on March 2012, as part of the 5 year School Building Programme, to commence construction in the years 2015/2016.
