1323 Mr. Stagg asked the Minister for Education and Science if the Office of Public Works has been successful in purchasing a site for a new national school in Kill, County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2390/02]
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 exploring the possibility of acquiring a site for Kill national school, County Kildare. The school authorities will be kept informed of developments.
1324 Mr. Stagg asked the Minister for Education and Science if officials in his Department have concluded their examination of the proposals to move St. Patrick's post primary school, Naas, County Kildare, to a new site; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2391/02]
The proposal submitted by the chief executive officer of County Kildare VEC to relocate the St. Patrick's community college to a new site, including the possible sale of the existing school is currently being considered by my Department's post primary building and administration units. All possible options are being considered by my Department. However, in order to progress this matter further a number of issues must firstly be resolved. A letter has recently issued to the chief executive officer in relation to these issues and upon receipt of the relevant information the options will be further considered.
