Minister of State at the Department of Education and Skills

Senior College on Eblana Avenue in Dun Laoghaire is in the ownership of Dublin and Dun Laoghaire Education and Training Board (DDLETB). The future use of the building is a matter for the ETB, subject to the approval of my Department. My Department has not received any proposals or requests for funding from the ETB in respect of this premises and enquiries regarding the use of the building should be directed to Dublin and Dun Laoghaire ETB in the first instance.
