Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 26 July 2017
299. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Education and Skills the date by which the construction of a permanent school building for schools (details supplied) will commence; the date by which the temporary accommodation for two of the schools' classes will be in place; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35594/17]
View answerA suitable permanent site for the school referred to by the Deputy has been identified and agreement in principle for its acquisition has been reached with the landowner. The Chief State Solicitor's Office, acting on behalf of my Department, is currently progressing the acquisition through the conveyancing stage.
A planning application for further accommodation at the existing temporary site has been submitted to the local authority. As soon as this accommodation has been installed, the classes temporarily located in another school will move back to the existing site.
