Question:

552. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Education the position regarding the completion of schools (details supplied); the extent to which previously made commitments in regard to the alternative use of the existing school sites remain positive with particular reference to the sharing of part of the site with a school for the provision of a public swimming pool and the commitment given in respect of a school; if, in the meantime, access and use of part of the site on a temporary basis can be made available to the authorities at a school while construction on their school takes place given the need to ensure the highest possible health and safety standards; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

While there are certain outstanding additional works to take place on site, the new school buildings referred to by the Deputy were practically completed in December and are ready for occupation.

The existing school site referred to by the Deputy is not in the Minister’s ownership and queries in relation to any arrangements regarding this site should be referred to the owner of the property Kildare & Wicklow Education and Training Board (KWETB). Any requests in relation to the site will be appraised by KWETB in light of the overall educational needs of the area.
