Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 6 May 2004
134 Ms O’Sullivan asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will take steps to ensure that Donabate-Portrane Educate Together school will receive permission to proceed with building a permanent school before planning permission expires in August 2006; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13130/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraDonabate-Portrane Educate Together national school received permanent recognition from my Department with effect from 1 February 2004. Since that date the school is eligible for consideration for the provision of permanent accommodation. A number of factors including competing demands for the capital allocation will determine the rate of progress on the delivery of such accommodation for the school. On being granted provisional recognition, the school was made aware that it would remain the patron's responsibility to provide interim accommodation until my Department is in a position to provide a permanent solution.
