Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 2 October 2014
177. Deputy David Stanton asked the Minister for Education and Skills the progress that has been made to date with the provision of new schools in Carrigtwohill, County Cork, specifically the new second level school expected to commence operation in the 2016-17 school year and the amalgamation of the two primary schools (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI wish to advise the Deputy that my Department, working in conjunction with Cork County Council, has identified suitable lands to facilitate the planned building projects for the schools referred to by the Deputy. I can confirm that the acquisition of the site is being progressed, however due to the commercially sensitive nature of acquisitions generally I am not in a position to give further details at this time.
Once the acquisition of the site is finalised, a design team for the project will be appointed with a view to progression to tender and construction.
