My Department has been in communication with the planning department of Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council regarding future school requirements in the Cherrywood local area plan. The exact location of reserved sites for schools will be the subject of further discussions with the local authority which is in the process of preparing a draft plan for public consultation.
The site referred to by the Deputy was a reserved school site in the previous Cherrywood draft area plan which was not adopted by the local authority. The development of the Cherrywood area, including the reservation of sites for future school use, is now being dealt with under the new local area plan.
