Dáil Éireann Debate, Friday - 7 September 2018
366. Deputy Kathleen Funchion asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of an application by a school (details supplied) for the drafting of a brief formulation report that will allow a design team to design and oversee the project of extending the existing school and refurbishing and reassigning usage of the existing school buildings and rooms. [36745/18]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, a building project to deliver a major project at the school referred to is included on my Department's 6 Year Capital Programme.
My Department has carried out a technical site visit at the school with a view to developing the project brief. Issues to be considered in the development of the project brief include identifying the preferred location of the buildings (having regard to the available site),the continuance of the existing school whilst construction is underway, decanting considerations and construction traffic access. My Department is in ongoing contact with the relevant authority in the matter.
