Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 November 2015
960. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Education and Skills her plans to provide temporary prefabricated accommodation on the second level school site in Kingswood Heights in Dublin 24; if any consultation has taken place with the local community in this regard; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [37756/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe major building project for this school is currently at an advanced stage of Architectural Planning - Stage 2b (Detailed Design) which includes the applications for Planning Permission, Fire Cert, Disability Access Cert and the preparation of Tender Documents.
This project is included on the current 5 year construction programme announced in 2012. It is listed on the programme to proceed to tender and construction in 2015/16.
I wish to advise the Deputy that it is the intention of both my Department and Dún Laoghaire ETB to open the school in temporary accommodation in September 2016 and the ETB has recently erected signs on the site fence advising of same. The ETB has advised that they will hold an information meeting with local residents/parents in mid-November to promote this new School.
