Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 January 2018
238. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Education and Skills the steps that have been taken to meet the temporary accommodation requirements of a national school (details supplied) in County Cork for the 2018-19 school year; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4247/18]
View answerThe temporary accommodation project for the school referred to by the Deputy has been devolved to the patron body, Educate Together, for delivery. The patron body has met with the local authority and is arranging for a planning application to be submitted for the consolidation of the school on a single site which will provide sufficient accommodation pending delivery of the school's permanent accommodation.
My Department will continue to work closely with the patron body and with the local authority to ensure a positive outcome.
