Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 30 July 2020
16. Deputy Aindrias Moynihan asked the Minister for Education and Skills the progress being made in securing a site for a school (details supplied); when the school will progress to a permanent home; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [16495/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe building project for Gaelscoil an Chaisleain is included in my Department's capital programme. Officials in my Department continue to liaise with officials in Cork City Council in relation to the identification and acquisition of a suitable site for the school.
A number of site options have been proposed and assessed. A potential site option has been identified. Negotiations with the landowner in respect of the preferred site option to accommodate the school are under way. The Deputy will appreciate that negotiations in respect of site acquisitions are, by their nature, sensitive and for that reason I am not in a position to provide further information at this time. However, I assure him that all parties are working to bring matters to a conclusion at the earliest possible date and Department officials will continue to keep the relevant school authorities appraised of progress.
