Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 June 2020
252. Deputy Darragh O'Brien asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of the provision of a new secondary school for the Malahide and Portmarnock areas of County Dublin as announced in November 2015; if locations for the proposed schools have been identified; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is being delivered under my Department's Design & Build Programme. This delivery programme uses a professional external Project Management team to progress the project through the stages of architectural planning, tendering and construction
It is anticipated that the project will proceed to tender shortly as part of a larger bundle of projects. My Department is working to have the first phase of the school's permanent accommodation handed over for occupation as early as possible in the 2021/22 school year.
