Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 29 November 2018
93. Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Education and Skills when a long-approved building project for a school (details supplied) will proceed to the next stage in view of the inadequate accommodation at the school at present; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50032/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe school to which the Deputy refers operates under the patronage of the local Education and Training Board (ETB). The ETB recently informed my Department that the long term accommodation needs of the school were being reviewed and that it would revert to my Department when this process had been completed.
My Department understands that the review has now been concluded and that the ETB will be making a proposal to my Department on the long-term needs of the area where the school in question is located. My Department will consider this proposal when received and it will revert to the ETB as quickly as possible with a decision in the matter.
