230. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the current status of an application for emergency works (details supplied); when a decision is likely to be made in this case, in view of the fact that these facilities are urgently required as the leaks are deteriorating; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I wish to advise that the application referred to has been examined by our Professional & Technical team and they have advised that Emergency Works will fund repair works to the leaks only as an interim measure until a permanent solution can be determined under the Summer Works Scheme.

The school have been advised to scale back the scope of works and to have a leak detection test carried out to identify the locations of the leaks so as, these can be repaired to the existing flat roof.

231. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills to provide a list of sites acquired for second level education institutions aided by her Department since 2000, in tabular form, indicating in each case the total expenditure on the acquisition of the site, the total area of the site, and the year of acquisition; the location by Eircode, the roll number(s) of school(s) built therein, and the relevant school planning area.

Having reviewed the information to hand, since year 2000 to date, I can confirm that my Department has acquired 58 sites at a cost of circa €200m, to facilitate the delivery of second level education institutions.

All of the details requested by the Deputy are not readily available within a central repository in my Department. As the Deputy will appreciate, it would involve a very significant amount of administrative work to identify, retrieve from storage, and examine all relevant files in order to compile the information in question.

However, if there is any specific information the Deputy requires, officials in my Department will assist in providing it, while being mindful of the commercial sensitivities relating to the property market in which my Department continues to operate.
