Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 30 September 2020
137. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Education the status of the new building for a school (details supplied); the reason for the delay to date; the expected date for completion of the project; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [27541/20]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, a site has been identified to accommodate a permanent school building for the school to which he refers. My Department is working closely with officials from Monaghan County Council under the Memorandum of Understanding in relation to the acquisition of the site. As the site acquisition process is complex, it is not possible to give a definitive timeframe for the completion of the acquisition.
The patron of the school in question has been informed of the location of the site and my officials will continue to progress the acquisition of this site so that the architectural planning process for the provision of a new permanent building for the school in question can commence.
