Amharc ar fhreagraThe Department acknowledges the need for a permanent solution to meet the long term accommodation needs of the school to which the Deputy refers.
The Department is actively looking at proposals regarding an alternative site for the school. However, due to the sensitivities surrounding site acquisitions, I am unable to comment on specifics at this time.
222 Mr. Kenny asked the Minister for Education and Science the situation regarding the acquisition of a site and the development of a school (details supplied) in County Dublin; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [32199/06]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Property Management Section of the Office of Public Works, which acts on behalf of my Department in relation to site acquisitions generally, has been requested to source a site for the school referred to by the Deputy.
On foot of advertising, a number of proposals were received by the OPW. A Technical Assessment has been carried out on all site proposals and OPW are currently awaiting these reports.
Once a suitable site has been secured, the project will then be considered in the context of the Schools Building and Modernisation Programme 2006-2010.
