Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 5 October 2023
252. Deputy Seán Canney asked the Minister for Education what progress has been made in the delivery of a new secondary school planned for Oranmore, County Galway (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [43356/23]
View answerAs the Deputy may be aware, a permanent site to accommodate the school referred to has been identified at Garraun, Oranmore, Galway. This site is part of a larger landholding currently subject to a Compulsory Purchase Order by Galway County Council.
The Compulsory Purchase Order has been submitted to An Bord Pleanála. The Board has indicated that it intends to determine the application for confirmation of the CPO before the 19th January 2024.
It is my Department's intention to initiate the architectural planning process for the new school as soon as possible thereafter.
