Dáil Éireann Debate, Monday - 11 September 2017
392. Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Education and Skills if his Department has had discussions with Fingal County Council regarding the location of the new second level school for the Carpenterstown and Castleknock school planning area; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38074/17]
View answerThe building project for the new post primary school to serve Carpenterstown/Castleknock is included in the Department’s 6 year construction programme.
Officials in the Department continue to liaise with officials in Fingal County Council in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding in relation to the identification and acquisition of a suitable location for the school and have identified a preferred site option in that regard.
Due to commercial sensitivities relating to site acquisitions generally I am not in a position to provide further details at this time but the school patron will be informed of the proposed location for the school as soon as it is possible to do so.
