Tánaiste and Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Mary Coughlan)

Applications for planning permission are made in my Department's name only in cases where the site is owned by my Department. In the large majority of projects, the site is not owned by my Department and, in those cases, the application for planning permission is made in the name of the Board of Management of the school.

In 2010, there were 21 planning applications relating to primary level and 3 planning applications relating to post-primary level lodged in my Department's name.

In 2009, there were 11 planning applications relating to primary level lodged in my Departments name. There were no planning applications relating to post-primary level lodged in my Department's name in 2009.

In 2008, there were 27 planning applications relating to primary level lodged in my Department's name. There were no planning applications relating to post-primary level lodged in my Department's name in 2008.

In 2007, there were 9 planning applications relating to primary level and 2 planning applications relating to post-primary level lodged in my Department's name.

The information requested by the Deputy on each of these planning applications is contained in the following tabular statement.
