Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 3 June 2020
166. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position on possible delays to a school (details supplied) to transfer to its new premises which is occupied by another school; if the matter will be expedited in view of the disruption that delays will have on the school not being in a position to transfer during the summer months; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8410/20]
View answerThe permanent project for the school referred to by the Deputy is being delivered under my Department's Design & Build Programme and will be tendered shortly.
The interim accommodation project for the post-primary school to which the Deputy refers is currently on site and being progressed. In the current Covid-19 circumstances the anticipated hand-over date is early to mid-August 2020. The decant of the Primary School will take place after the Post-Primary school vacates the premises.
