A project to construct a new building for the school to which the Deputy refers is on my Department's capital programme. The site identified for the school is in the proposed Clonburris SDZ which has not yet been adopted. The SDZ plan is currently with An Bord Pleanála and the oral hearing is scheduled for 22 January 2019. Once the SDZ has been finalised the acquisition of the school site can proceed. The lands are in the ownership of South Dublin County Council.
In the interim, my Department is currently working on aspects of the agreement in principle, which would enable the architectural planning process on the project to commence.
