Minister for Education & Skills Response on the Provision of New Secondary Schools for the Malahide, Portmarncok and Swords Area's

5/10/2016

 
​QUESTION NO:  173

DÁIL QUESTION addressed to the Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Richard Bruton)
by Deputy Darragh O'Brien
for WRITTEN ANSWER on 04/10/2016  

 
 To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the status of the provision of a new secondary school for the Malahide and Portmarnock areas of County Dublin, as announced in November 2015; if he has identified locations for these proposed schools; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
  
REPLY.


The school to which the Deputy refers is due to open in 2017 and the patronage process for this school is ongoing at present.   

As the Deputy may be aware, the building project for the permanent school building for the new post-primary school to serve the Malahide/Portmarnock school planning areas is included in my Department's current six-year construction programme announced last November and is listed to go to tender and construction in 2019/2021.  

My Department is liaising with Fingal County Council in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding in relation to the identification and acquisition of a suitable location for the school.  The technical feasibility of an identified site option is currently being comprehensively assessed by my Department in liaison with officials from the Council. 

Due to commercial sensitivities relating to site acquisitions generally I am not in a position to provide further details at this time.  I can, however, assure you that the site acquisition process for this school is underway and the details of the permanent site location will be made available as soon as it is possible to do so.

by Deputy Darragh O'Brien
for WRITTEN ANSWER on 04/10/2016  

 
 To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the status of the provision of a new secondary school for the Swords area of County Dublin, as announced in November 2015; if he has identified locations for these proposed schools; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
  
REPLY.


The school to which the Deputy refers is due to open in 2017 and the patronage process for this school is ongoing at present.  

As the Deputy may be aware, the building project for the new post primary school to serve Swords is included in the 6 year construction programme that was announced last November. The project for this school is listed to go to construction in 2019-21. 

Officials in my Department have worked closely with officials in Fingal County Council in respect of this and conveyancing is currently underway in respect of a site for the permanent school accommodation. 

Due to commercial sensitivities relating to site acquisitions generally I am unfortunately not in a position to provide 
further details regarding the permanent location at this time. I can, however, assure you that the site acquisition process for this school is being advanced by my Department as a priority.
