Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 4 July 2018
149. Deputy Fiona O'Loughlin asked the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence if he has engaged with the Department of Education and Skills with regard to the need to upgrade schools on the Curragh Camp; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29530/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department is not currently engaged in formal negotiations with the Department of Education and Skills in relation to school provision and accommodation requirements for the existing schools in the Curragh Camp. I am advised that my officials have recently had informal discussions on the range of matters to be considered in relation to the planning for school provision at post primary level in the general area. While the planning for and provision of school accommodation is primarily a matter for the Minister for Education and Skills, my Department is open to discussions with that Department in relation to the future planning provision for schools in that area.
