Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 September 2014
1423. Deputy Anthony Lawlor asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding a new building for a school (details suppled) in County Kildare; when it is anticipated that the pupils and staff should be moved into this permanent accommodation; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34597/14]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, my Department's over-riding objective is to ensure that every child has access to a physical school place and that our school system is in a position to cope with increasing pupil numbers. This can necessitate the use of temporary accommodation, as in the case of the school in question, until the Department is in a position to provide a permanent building. In that regard, my Department is continuing to liaise with the school authorities concerned regarding their long term accommodation needs.
