Deputy Olivia Mitchell
asked the
Minister for Education and Science
if his attention has been drawn to the future need for either one 32 class school or two 16 class schools in the greater Kilternan area as is provided for in the Kilternan local area plan; the communication there has been between Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council and his Department; when it is envisaged that he will purchase land in order to begin construction of the new schools; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
[32757/08]
Minister for Education and Science (Deputy Batt O’Keeffe):
I can confirm that the Department in its submission to the Kilternan/Glenamuck Local Area Plan requested that it would be prudent for Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council to reserve suitable sites, approximately 19 acres in total, for two primary schools and one post-primary school to meet the future school accommodation needs of the area. In general, the Department considers site acquisition in accordance as needs arise, taking into account the availability of capital resources and in the overall context of the Departments Multi-Annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.
