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

Michael Moynihan (FF), Cork North-West

I thank the Senator. As I understand it, they are looking at the decant option within the existing site, if that can be achieved. That is one of the options. The Senator has outlined a number of other options available within the greater Renmore area and I will reflect those back to the planning and building unit. This is a major piece of infrastructure and it is important that Scoil Chaitríona junior and senior school projects move forward. A lot of work and discussion has gone into bringing it this far; it is important we get it moving and to construction. I will take the issues raised back to the Department but, from what I understand, the Department is looking a decant option within the site. If that is feasible, it would be the preferred option. If it is not doable, we will have to look at the alternative sites proposed by the Senator. I will ensure we liaise with him and the school authorities as soon as possible to make sure this project is moving forward.
