Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 13 May 2021
315. Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Education the status of the buildings at a now-closed national school (details supplied); if they are to be let out to a third-party; if they will be open for use to the local community; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [25286/21]
View answerThe property referred to by the Deputy is not in my ownership. In common with other buildings which are used as a school, there is a charging lease in place on the property to protect the State's investment in the property.
My Department has considered this property and has no objection in principle to the request. from the property owner to release the State's interest in it. Any proposal for the future use of the property is a matter for the owner of the property.
