Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

The Department did not complete the purchase of land in the area referred to by the Deputy. The acquisition of this site was subject to planning permission being obtained. Contracts were rescinded on the basis that, subsequent to an appeal to An Bord Pleanála, planning permission was not granted.
