View answerA potential property has been identified to provide permanent accommodation for Wicklow Educate Together Secondary School
An architectural consultant has determined that it is feasible to develop this site and property to provide the accommodation required by the school.
The proposed brief for the school is to provide accommodation for 600 pupils plus Special Education Needs Provision.
Given the sensitivities associated with acquisitions generally I am not in a position to comment further at this time.
I wish to assure you that the provision of a permanent location for this school is a priority for the Department.
