The lands at Beechpark Avenue are owned by my Department and were purchased to provide educational facilities.

Planning permission has been obtained and that this project is scheduled to proceed to tender and construction within the next 12 to 15 months. It is envisaged that the construction period will be about 12 months from the date the project commences on site. I intend to put in place a formal legal agreement overning the use of the remaining lands once the school is in place. I recently met with officials of St. Brigid's GAA club and informed them of the up-to-date position concerning the building project.
