Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 July 2017
215. Deputy Jack Chambers asked the Minister for Education and Skills the precise location of the new secondary school for the Castleknock and Carpenterstown area under the patronage of an organisation (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32226/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department has been working closely with Fingal County Council under the Memorandum of Understanding for the acquisition of school sites in order to identify and procure a suitable site for the new secondary school for the Castleknock and Carpenterstown area. A number of potential site options have been identified and these are currently under consideration.
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.
In the interim the school will open in September 2017 at the former Institute of Horology property, Mill Road, Blanchardstown, Dublin 15 on a temporary basis.
