Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 2 October 2025
305. Deputy Duncan Smith asked the Minister for Education and Youth if she will consider acquiring a site at a location (details supplied) with appropriate zoning which will facilitate use by two schools in the near future; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [52902/25]
View answerIn relation to the area referred to by the deputy, additional primary school capacity will be provided in this School Planning Area with plans for 2 permanent primary schools currently approved and in early architectural planning. These additional two primary schools - one of which is currently in interim accommodation in an adjacent School Planning area and due to be relocated are expected to meet future primary school place demands.
The lands referred to are currently being examined by my department in relation to the need for further expansion of accommodation at post-primary level and all options are being considered at present.
