As the Deputy may be aware, the Department of Education and Skills has worked in partnership with Fingal County Council under the Fingal School Model Agreement to acquire sites for educational provision in the Fingal area.
The Fingal Model Agreement was signed into effect in July 2006. It represented the first attempt at formalising the interactions between the Department and a local authority and was developed in advance of the Code of Practice for Planning Authorities on School Provision published jointly by the Minister for Education and Science and the Minister for the Environment in August 2008. A list of schools built on sites acquired under the Fingal Model Agreement is attached.
Following on from the Code of Practice, in 2012 a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between my Department and the County and City Managers' Association on the acquisition of sites for school planning purposes was agreed and signed. This MoU formalises the local authorities' part in securing sites for educational use. In recent years, therefore, sites acquired in Fingal have been acquired under this MoU.
