Richard Boyd Barrett

Ceist:

109. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Education and Skills when a school (details supplied) will be moved out of temporary accommodation as was agreed under the divestment programme in view of the fact that it was told that it would only be there for one year and it is now facing into its fourth year at a club (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Education and Skills

It is my Department's intention to relocate the school referred to by the Deputy to their proposed new location as their long-term permanent accommodation. The new proposed building will, however, require significant remediation works and my Department will be in further contact with the Patron on this matter.

In the interim, the school has been advised to extend the lease at its current location to June 2018.
