528. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of the progression to new premises of a school (details supplied); and the further status of the project within either the planning or forward planning unit of his Department. [33544/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe school to which the Deputy refers opened under the Divestment process in 2016 and is currently in interim temporary accommodation pending delivery of permanent accommodation at Wilmer Road Birr, in a premises currently occupied by the Health Service Executive (HSE).
My Department met recently with the HSE to discuss the arrangements for progressing the delivery of permanent accommodation for the school and agreement in principle was reached to progress this project.
However, as the required relocation of the health services operating from the existing premises is the subject of an appeal to An Bord Pleanala, my Department must await the outcome of this process.
