Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 April 2019
192. Deputy Brendan Ryan asked the Minister for Education and Skills if a use has been identified for the site bought at a location (details supplied) in 2018; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17521/19]
View answerI can confirm my Department purchased the site to which the Deputy refers to provide an option in terms of school provision in this area. There are multiple school accommodation requirements in the south Dublin area and there are significant challenges in acquiring school sites. The property was acquired by my Department in that context.
A number of potential uses have been identified however its ultimate use will be determined in the context of other anticipated projects and property acquisitions in the wider area and the specifics of its development will be subject to the views of the Planning Authorities.
