Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Current and Future Plans of the School Building Unit: Department of Education

Mr. Murty Hanly:

The Galway ETSS school was set up as a regional solution for Galway and Oranmore. Working in collaboration with Galway County Council, we identified a suitable site in Oranmore in the Garran area, next to the train station. Unfortunately we could not acquire the site by agreement due to title issues. We have gone down the road of requesting Galway County Council to use its powers of compulsory purchase to acquire the site. That order has been processed and is with An Bord Pleanála at the moment and we are waiting for word back on that
