Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 October 2015
574. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Education and Skills if a school (details supplied) in County Kerry will be included in her Department's five-year building programme; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36172/15]
View answerI can confirm to the Deputy that my Department has completed the acquisition of a greenfield site for the school in question on foot of outline planning permission being granted.
The next stage involves the commencement of the architectural planning process and the appointment of a design team to advance the project. The school authorities have been advised of this position.
School building projects, including the project in question, which have not been included in the current Five Year programme, will continue to be progressed to the final planning stages and are available to be considered in the context of the new 6 Year Construction Plan that I intend to announce in the coming weeks.
