My Department is planning to open a new primary school in temporary accommodation at Grange, Frankfield, in September 2000 subject to the satisfactory acquisition of a site for the school.
The property management section of the Office of Public Works is acting on behalf of my Department in relation to site acquisitions generally and is currently dealing with the site at Grange. As soon as the acquisition has been finalised, my Department will be in contact with the school authorities.
564 Mr. Wall asked the Minister for Education and Science the plans, if any, he has for the provision of a new school (details supplied) in County Kildare in view of the fact that the current school has no available land for development and there are problems in relation to access; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
