Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 4 May 2023
158. Deputy David Stanton asked the Minister for Education further to Parliamentary Question No. 91 of 2 February 2023; the progress, if any, that has been made on the review of guidelines on the use of school buildings outside of school hours; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI thank Deputy Canney. This is a matter of which we are very conscious. We want active farmers to be able to continue to farm. As the Deputy is probably aware, if under residential zoned land tax arrangements a farmer wanted residentially zoned land to be dezoned, it would be considered not included in respect of the tax. Farmers up and down the country appealed to An Bord Pleanála up to 1 May. We are very conscious of the phasing of the zonings, and our Department is considering it actively.
