Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 June 2017
238. Deputy Jan O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Education and Skills the progress made in identifying a site for the proposed new post-primary school under the patronage of an organisation (details supplied) that is due to open in the Castletroy Monaleen area of County Limerick; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30062/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraA building project for the new post-primary school referred to by the Deputy is included in my Department’s current 6 year construction programme.
Officials from my Department have been working closely with Limerick City and County Council under the Memorandum of Understanding for the acquisition of school sites in order to identify and procure a suitable site for the school.
A number of potential site options have been identified and these are currently under consideration.
While a site acquisition process is underway, given the commercial sensitivities associated with land acquisitions generally I am not in a position to comment further at this time. However, the patron of the school will be informed of the location as soon as it is possible to do so.
