Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 14 October 2020
39. Deputy John Brady asked the Minister for Education her plans to provide permanent accommodation for a school (details supplied); the time frame for same; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [29799/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy is aware, a major capital project for the provision of permanent accommodation for the school in question is being addressed through my Department's Capital Programme.
My Department proposes to master plan a 12 acre site owned by the ETB to demonstrate how the accommodation needs of the school, as well as the existing education provider on the site, could potentially be met, which will be mutually beneficial for both parties. The draft plan is well advanced at this point.
In the meantime, arrangements are in train to refurbish interim alternative accommodation for the school and it is intended that the property will be ready for occupation shortly.
