Parliamentary Question addressed to the Minister for Education and Skills

To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if she will provide an update on the progress of Educate Together Primary School Stepaside in Dublin 18 which is planned to progress to construction in 2015; and if she will make a statement on the matter?

As the Deputy is aware, a building project for the school to which she refers is included for funding in my Department’s Five Year Plan and is also contained in my Departments 2015 programme.

My Department is currently in the process of acquiring a suitable site for the school. A site has been identified and the acquisition process is in train. Due to commercial sensitivities attaching to site acquisitions generally, I am not in a position to give further details at this time.
