200. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if the land which is currently used as sports pitches by a school (details supplied) in Dublin 22 is in the ownership of his Department; if so, his future plans for the lands; if none, if the school and local soccer club can continue to use the lands and pitches; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I can confirm to the Deputy that the land to which he refers is in my ownership.  My Department plans to provide permanent accommodation for the new primary school announced to serve the Clondalkin_D22 School Planning Area on this site, subject to the views of the Planning Authority.

A masterplanning exercise will be required in respect of the site in order to determine the optimum layout and maximise the sporting facilities which can be retained.   Department officials will continue to liaise with officials in Dublin Dún Laoghaire ETB, as patron of the school to which the Deputy refers, in this regard.
