187. Deputy Frank O'Rourke asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of the acquisition process of a site at Donacomper, Lucan Road for the purposes of a new build for a school (details supplied) which has been earmarked as an alternative site for the purposes of a new build; the timeline for the necessary planning submission for a new build at this site; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy is aware, my Department is in the process of acquiring a site to accommodate the school to which the Deputy refers.
There are some outstanding clarifications required with regard to the site before matters can be progressed and, with a view to progressing the site acquisition, my Department has been in contact with the vendor requesting an update on these.
My Department is aware of the necessity to provide a new building for the school and, subject to no issues arising, will be appointing a design team to progress the project to architectural planning as soon as it is possible to do so.
