Schools Building Projects
Seanad Éireann — 2025-05-28
============================================================

Seán Kyne (FG), Cultural and Educational Panel

I thank the Minister of State for his reply and for offering to take this back to the Department. The Minister of State mentioned a further review of all decant options within the red-line boundary of the current school. Perhaps the Department is looking at facilitating the existing pupils within the existing site boundary. I am not sure whether that is feasible but, if the design team feels it is, that is progress and a solution. However, the school must be kept abreast of those developments as it is in limbo. There is good news and progress and a design team has been appointed, but there is concern regarding where the decant or temporary relocation will take place to allow for progress on the badly-needed new school building. I thank the Minister of State for his attendance today on behalf of the Department and for offering to take this further within the Department.
