View answerAs the Deputy may be aware, since April 2018 the Government has announced 47 new schools to be established over a four year period (2019 - 2022) including one new primary school to serve the Killester_Raheny_Clontarf school planning area. This school was established in 2019 under the patronage of Educate Together following a patronage process.
The school opened in suitable interim accommodation in Suttonians Rugby Club, Dublin 13 pending delivery of its permanent building.
The project to deliver the permanent accommodation for the school is on my Department's capital programme and a permanent site option in the school planning area has been identified. Given the commercial sensitivities associated with land acquisitions generally I am not in a position to provide further information regarding the proposed location at this time, however, it will be confirmed to the school patron at the earliest possible date.
