Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 February 2019
260. Deputy Darragh O'Brien asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of the provision of a new school building project for a school (details supplied); if the acquisition of a new site for the school has been completed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6725/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy is aware the building project for the school in question is included on my Department's capital programme.
Officials in my Department have recently contacted officials in Fingal County Council for assistance under the Memorandum of Understanding in relation to the identification and acquisition of a suitable site. The relevant Local Area Plan provides for the location of a Post Primary School site in the Kenure area of Rush and engagement with the relevant landowners in respect of the potential acquisition of this site has commenced.
It is difficult to indicate a timeline for the completion of the acquisition of a site for the school in question as it is dependent on the outcome of current negotiations and also on the complexity of the conveyancing process. Once a site has been acquired, the project can progress to architectural planning.
