163. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the reason a former national school (details supplied) in County Meath still remains boarded up; the reason no refurbishment works on the building have been carried out in order that it can provide accommodation for a new national school (details supplied); the expected start date for refurbishment works to commence; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

It is my Department's intention to relocate the school referred to by the Deputy to their proposed new location as their long-term permanent accommodation. The new proposed building will, however, require significant remediation works and my Department will be in further contact with the Patron on this matter.
In the interim, the school has been advised to extend the lease at its current location to June 2018.
