Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

A meeting was held recently between the Department and the Trustees of the school to which the Deputy refers. At this meeting, the Department's interest in acquiring the school building and the associated playing fields was put forward. The Department has since formally put in writing its expression of interest to the Trustees and is currently awaiting a response. Consideration of the options as to the future use of this building will be contingent on the response from the Trustees of the property.
