Parliamentary Question addressed to the Minister for Education and Skills

5th January 2014 - Olivia Mitchell TD

To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if a temporary site has been sought for the gaelcholáiste to serve the general Ballinteer/Stepaside area that will commence operation in 2014 under the patronage of An Foras Pátrúnachta na Scoileanna Lán Ghaeilge, due to the urgency of this matter and the concerns of students, parents and teachers; and if he will make a statement on the matter?

Reply

My Department is working with the patron of the school in question to identify and secure suitable accommodation for the school’s start up in 2014.

In relation to the permanent location of the Gaelcholáiste, a number of options have been identified and are being progressed. Negotiations are ongoing and therefore given the sensitivities associated with land acquisitions, I am not in a position to comment further at this time.
