Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 7 July 2022
231. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Education if she will provide a schedule to include sale price and location of school buildings that her Department has disposed of in the past 50 years to date in 2022. [36874/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraTraditionally, school buildings are owned by the school patron. In general, this may be a diocese or religious congregation. Prior to 1999 when a decision was taken for the Minister for Education to acquire sites for schools the main schools owned by the Minister for Education were in the Community and Comprehensive school sector.
The information requested by the Deputy is not readily available. Officials from my Department will make contact with the Deputy’s office to discuss how this request may be progressed.
