Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 April 2024
324. Deputy Alan Farrell asked the Minister for Education for an update on a planning application by a school (details supplied) with Fingal County Council; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [18034/24]
View answerThe school building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is being delivered under my Department's Design and Build Programme and will deliver a new 16 classroom primary school and accommodation, including four classrooms, for children with special educational needs.
My Department's Project Manager is currently finalising the planning application, including any necessary consents, for the project. Once this has been finalised, the planning application will be submitted shortly thereafter.
It is not possible to provide a time-frame for the progression of the project to tender and construction stages until such time as the necessary statutory approvals have been secured.
My Department will continue to keep the school and its patron body updated as the project progresses.
