Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 January 2016
450. Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn asked the Minister for Education and Skills to set out the status of the site selection and construction of a three-school campus for schools (details supplied) in County Donegal; if provision will be made for a certain school at this campus; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerAs the Deputy is aware a technical inspection of a significant number of potential site options for the school accommodation to which he refers has been conducted by officials from my Department working with officials from Donegal County Council. My officials are currently considering the findings of this assessment and, with the assistance of the Local Authority, are clarifying technical issues raised with a view to ensuring that a preferred site option can be advanced as soon as possible.
The project for the schools referred to, including Gaelcholáiste Chineal Eoghain, is included in the 6 year construction programme that I announced last November, and is listed to proceed to tender and construction in the period 2019-21.
