The school referred to by the Deputy is currently accommodated in a former primary school building. Another former primary school building adjoins the school and the school in question has secured the use of some additional space in this property. Both school buildings are owned by the Diocese of Cork and Ross.

This property has the potential to offer the school valuable extra space to meet its accommodation needs. Remedial work is required to the property to facilitate its use by the school in question. The Department has been liaising with the school regarding its accommodation needs and an architect and engineer from the Department’s Building Unit recently visited the school. It is intended that the visit will assist in identifying proposed works that could be undertaken in the building taking account of the specific needs of the school. The Department is also engaging with the Diocese of Cork and Ross as owner of the building in this regard.
