Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 10 November 2016
141. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of the site selection process for the new three-school campus for Buncrana, County Donegal; and if he will prioritise resources in his Department to fast-track the design, planning, tendering and construction stages in acknowledgement of the 11 years that it has taken to get to this first stage of the process.

View answerAs the Deputy is aware the Buncrana school campus project is included in the 6 year construction programme announced last November, and is listed to proceed to tender and construction in 2019-21.
Officials from my Department continue to liaise with officials from Donegal County Council in relation to the advancement of a preferred site option. Once a suitable site has been acquired my Department will be in a position to progress the project concerned into the architectural planning process.
