Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Education and Skills if his attention has been drawn to the fact that progress on the construction of a project (details supplied) is going well and that a school should be in a position to move to its new location in September 2018; if the accommodation required for the project can be agreed upon at this stage; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The project to which the Deputy refers has a 24 month duration.  It went on site in May 2017 and is scheduled to be completed in May 2019.

In the meantime, the local Education and Training Board is continuing to examine the options for accommodation for the school to which the Deputy refers.  This involves consideration of the timing and availability of appropriate infrastructure in the area.
