346. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to seek further clarification from the Christian Brothers in relation to a claim made by the congregation in correspondence to a person (details supplied) of 3 July 2017; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36237/17]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that in the response sent by the Congregation of Christian Brothers to my Department on 3 July stating that the surplus lands at Clonkeen College have been sold, the Congregation stated and I quote "The surplus lands at Clonkeen College have been sold. Both the Congregation and the purchasers have signed and exchanged legally binding contracts. We would like to confirm for the record that the Congregation cannot reverse this transaction."
