Donnelly asked the Minister for Education and Skills if the new site of a school (details supplied) will begin construction in 2018; if his Department foresees any barriers to this construction beginning in 2018; if these barriers exist, the plans in place to mitigate these barriers; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 194 and 195 together.
The building project for the school to which the Deputy refers is included in my Department's 6 Year Construction Programme announced last November. It is envisaged that this project will proceed to tender/construction in 2018, as outlined in the Programme.
A site acquisition process in respect of this school building project is underway and is currently at conveyancing stage.
