My Department has agreed to dispose of a small portion of its land to South Dublin County Council to facilitate a new access road. The agreement is subject to a number of conditions including the reinstatement of the field. While improved access has now been provided, my Department has been advised that some works still remain outstanding and in this regard the matter has been raised with South Dublin County Council and a response is awaited.

Question 158: To ask the Minister for Education and Science if approaches have been made to her Department by a developer, asking her Department to sell the site under its ownership at a school (details supplied) in County Dublin; if her Department has not and will not dispose of this site in view of its availability as a physical education and play area and that the provision of this space was a key element in the selection of the school's current location, that pupils currently operate from a very small play area and that the school has been trying for the last number of years to get South Dublin County Council to reinstate the much needed site back to its original state and usable condition; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
