Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 April 2018
409. Deputy John Lahart asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reason the number of steps that were due to happen for a school (details supplied) have not yet occurred; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15835/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy is aware, a building project to provide permanent accommodation for the school in question is included in my Department’s 6 Year Construction Programme.
The site acquisition has been agreed with the current landowner. The Chief State Solicitor's Office, acting on behalf of my Department, is currently progressing the acquisition through the conveyancing stage.
In tandem with this, my Department is currently finalising the project brief to facilitate the advancement of the project into the architectural planning process. This brief will be completed by the end of April and my Department will be in further contact with the school in this context. My Department is working to advance this project into the architectural planning process as quickly as possible.
