Minister for Education and Skills

I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department remains committed to providing permanent accommodation for Gaelscoil Phadraig. It is my Department's intention that the gaelscoil will relocate to the premises currently occupied by Ballyowen Meadows school following the construction of its new school. All statutory applications have been granted for the new school and the design team are in the process of completing stage 2(b) tender documentation. Once this documentation is submitted, my Department will carry out its review and subject to no issues arising, the project will then progress to tender and construction.
