Officials from my Department have 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 Swords Community College, a new post primary school to open in September 2018.
My Department is currently working to complete the acquisition of a site at Mooretown, Swords to accommodate this school and this process is at an advanced stage. The school's patron, Dublin and Dún Laoghaire Education and Training Board, has been informed of the proposed location. The Design Team has been appointed and is currently progressing the design proposals in advance of pre-planning discussions with the planning authority.
