Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 31 March 2015
553. Deputy Mattie McGrath asked the Minister for Education and Skills if she will address the child protection and financial concerns outlined in correspondence (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [12703/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can confirm that the school to which the Deputy refers submitted a major application for a new school building in November 2013. The current status of all applications, including for the school in question, may be viewed on my Department's website at www.education.ie To facilitate the provision of a new school for the school in question a greenfield site will be required. In that regard, my Department has recently initiated the process of identifying a site for the school concerned. I am also aware that the school concerned, in support of its application for new accommodation, referred to possible child protection issues and financial concerns. My Department intends to make contact with the school shortly in relation to these matters.
