Provision of a permanent site for Malahide / Portmarnock Educate Together National School

QUESTION

To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the status of the provision of a permanent site for a school (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. (Details Supplied) Malahide / Portmarnock Educate Together National School

REPLY

As the Deputy is aware, with the assistance of officials in Fingal County Council, agreement in principle has been reached with the landowner in respect to the acquisition of a permanent site at Broomfield, Malahide to accommodate the school to which he refers.

The project to deliver the permanent accommodation for this school at this location is on my Department's Design and Build Programme and is currently at architectural planning stage. 

In the interim my officials continue to work to complete the transfer of the site into my ownership
