To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if her Department will approach Fingal County Council to ask it to allow a school (details supplied) use of Fingal owned land to the north of the school as recreational facilities for the children, as the school’s existing recreational facilities are going to be taken over by a major school extension project; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The school to which the Deputy refers to was approved to enter the departments pipeline of school building projects under the Additional Schools Accommodation (ASA) Scheme to provide a 4 Classroom SEN base and 2 SET classrooms. This project was approved to go to Tender in July 2023.

My department is currently reviewing a request for the use of Fingal owned land to the north of the school as recreational facilities for the school. Once this review is completed officials from my department will be in contact with both the school and Fingal County Council on the matter.

My department will ensure that this school's project as for all projects on our school building programme is subject to the due diligence required under the public Infrastructure Guidelines.
