I am pleased to inform the Deputy that formal approval was issued to an ongoing ASA project nearby allowing them to utilise an adjacent department-owned land for traffic management associated with that school and the school in question. This is a very positive step forward for the future of both projects, which should assist in terms of alleviating significant planning concerns identified at pre-planning stage by Fingal County Council.

The Design team of the ongoing ASA project have been advised to liaise with the school in question regarding this.

My department will continue to engage with the school authority to provide practical advice and assistance on the project.
