Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 June 2012
154 Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he intends to purchase or lease the intended site for a new school building in respect of a school (details supplied) in County Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26524/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can confirm to the Deputy that my Department has reached agreement, in principle, subject to contract with Cork County Council, in relation to the proposed acquisition of a site for the school to which he refers. With regards to planning permission, a "Notification of Decision to Grant Permission" has been issued by the Local Authority and the "Decision to Grant Permission" is awaited. Once this acquisition is concluded, the proposed building project will be considered in the context of the capital budget available to my Department for school buildings generally.
