880. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the reason for the delay in moving a school (details supplied) in County Dublin into its permanent building, in view of the fact that this school has been waiting 20 years to move into a permanent building; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department remains committed to providing permanent accommodation for the school to which he refers. The Deputy is aware that it is intended that the school will relocate to a premises currently occupied by a special school pending the construction of its new school.

The Major Building Project for the special school is currently at an advanced stage of architectural planning. The school's Design Team are currently preparing the Stage 2(b) Detailed Design documentation for submission to the Department for review and approval. Assuming no issues arise in the review of the Stage 2(b) submission, the project will then be authorised to proceed to tender.
