The school to which the Deputy refers was established in September 2020 and opened in interim accommodation in the Greystones Lawn Tennis Club.
A licence agreement is in place for this interim accommodation with a commencement date of 17th August 2020, for a period of eleven weeks. My Department does not generally disclose the value of particular leasing agreements as these matters are considered commercially sensitive.
Senior Department officials met with Kildare Wicklow ETB (KWETB) and Greystones Community College on Wednesday, 23rd September to discuss the schools current arrangements and the immediate and future accommodation requirements for the school.
My Department has agreed to look at all potential options in the area in the short and medium term ahead of the schools move to its designated permanent site in Charlesland, Greystones. This will include the provision of appropriate alternative interim accommodation, including specialist rooms, as quickly as possible as the current school year progresses.
