Regarding the current planning application for temporary accommodation to which the Deputy refers my Department’s Project Management Team is currently preparing a response to the request for further information from Fingal County Council in respect of the planning application F20A/0157 which is for the interim accommodation for the school in question.
With regard to a permanent site to cater for the projected demographic growth the acquisition of a zoned school site at Corballis, Donabate is at an advanced stage of legal conveyancing. Officials from my Department are engaging with the landowner and officials in the relevant local authority regarding the potential development of the site.
I am unable to elaborate any further due to the commercial sensitivities of site acquisitions in general.
