Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 July 2017
168. Deputy John Curran asked the Minister for Education and Skills when he will approve the sale of an old school building (details supplied) in County Dublin; if he will investigate this delay and take the necessary steps to ensure approval is forthcoming; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThere is a charging lease in place on the property referred to by the Deputy which means that I have a vested interest in the property. I can confirm that my Department has received a request from the property owner to release my interest.
My Department has considered the above request. In principle, there is no objection to the request to use the property for community purposes. Officials in my Department will be in contact with the property owner to inform them of the steps which need to be taken in order to release my interest in the property.
