The site on which the college in question is currently situated has been purchased and transferred to my ownership. Subject to planning permission, it is planned to provide a primary school and a post primary school on the site.
The college in question is operated by the National Learning Network, a division of the Rehab group, with funding provided by City of Dublin Education and Training Board. The funding is provided under the Specialist Training Provider programme, which supports the provision of training for people with disabilities. With regard to the current site, there is a licence agreement in place which provides for the continued provision of existing services pending alternative arrangements being put in place by the college. There are no plans to transfer the site in question or the college to CDETB.
