200. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills further to Parliamentary Question No. 372 of 31 May 2022, if the joint application has been made by her Department and a third-party developer to Cork County Council to have the roads in question taken in charge; if not, when she expects the application to be made; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The planning permission for the school project referred to by the Deputy included planning permission for the roads and was subject to 57 conditions most of which related to the specification and construction of the significant road network by a third party developer and which is essential to access the school site. Following agreement with the local authority on compliance matters, the developer commenced and has completed construction of the roads.

The new roads when taken in charge by the local authority will allow access to the school campus and will require a joint application to the local authority from my Department and the third party developer to have the roads taken in charge. Discussions are ongoing with the third party developer and it is anticipated that a joint application will be lodged with the local authority in the coming months.
