Amharc ar fhreagra233 Ms O’Sullivan asked the Minister for Education and Science the progress made in the procurement of a site for a school (details supplied) in County Limerick; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [12198/07]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 225 and 233 together.
The Property Management Section of the Office of Public Works (OPW) which acts generally on behalf of my Department on the acquisition of sites for schools, has been requested to source a suitable site for this Gaelscoil. A number of proposals were received by OPW. A technical assessment of these proposals has been carried out and the report is currently under consideration within my Department. My Department has, however, reverted to the OPW requesting additional information which will require further consultation with the Local Authority.
When a suitable site has been secured the project will be considered in the context of the multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme and the National Development Plan.
