161. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Education and Skills the progress on the building of a permanent school structure at a school (details supplied); the reason the timeframes indicated to parents have not been kept to; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18918/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI wish to advise the Deputy that my Department has finalised the project brief for the development of a permanent school building for the school in question and the school has been advised accordingly. The Department will be in further contact with the school shortly relating to the next steps to advance the project through the architectural planning process. The school has also been provided with a point of contact within my Department for the project.
The Deputy will be aware that the site is currently in the ownership of the local authority. My Department is in the process of acquiring this site and officials from both the Department and the local authority are working constructively to finalise this acquisition.
