Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 February 2017
326. Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Education and Skills if discussions have taken place with Fingal County Council regarding the location of the new second level school for the Carpenterstown and Castleknock school planning area; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10183/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe building project for the new post-primary school to serve Carpenterstown/Castleknock is included in the Department’s 6 year construction programme.
Officials in the Department are liaising with officials in Fingal County Council in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding in relation to the identification and acquisition of a suitable location for the school and are currently examining site options.
Due to commercial sensitivities relating to site acquisitions generally, I am not in a position to provide further details at this time but the school patron will be informed of the proposed location for the school as soon as it is possible to do so.
