 To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding progress on a new school building project for a school (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. (Details Supplied) St. Joseph's Secondary School, Rush, Co Dublin.
  
REPLY.


As the Deputy is aware the building project for the school in question is included on my Department's capital programme.

Officials in my Department have been liaising with officials in the relevant Local Authority regarding the potential development of an educationally-zoned site to accommodate the school.  There are currently infrastructural issues which need to be resolved in order to progress the proposed development. 

My officials have contacted the school patron to discuss the issues with a view to progressing matters.
