120. Deputy David Stanton asked the Minister for Education and Skills further to Parliamentary Question No. 240 of 14 October 2014, the further progress that has been made with regard to the site acquisition in respect a school (details supplied) in County Cork; if the new school building project is still on target to go to construction in 2015-2016; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [45421/14]
View answerI can confirm that the school referred to by the Deputy is included in my Department's 5 year plan to go to construction in 2015/16.
The conveyancing process in relation to the site concerned is currently underway, and due diligence must be performed in this regard. Once the acquisition of the site is finalised, the project will be progressed into the architectural planning process with a view to having accommodation in place, subject to no issues arising, for the academic year commencing September 2016. My Department will continue to keep the school authority apprised of developments.
