191. Deputy Jack Chambers asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding a new secondary school for the Castleknock and Carpenterstown areas in Dublin 15; the location of same; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21651/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe building project for the new post-primary school to serve the Carpenterstown/Castleknock school planning areas is included in my Department’s current 6 year construction programme.
Officials in my 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 permanent location for the school.
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.
The school will open as scheduled in September 2017 in suitable interim accommodation.
