435. Deputy Pat Rabbitte asked the Minister for Education and Skills if she will use the vacated building at the former St. Peter’s primary school, Greenhills, Dublin 12 for education purposes; if discussions have taken place with the Dublin Archdiocesan authorities regarding this; when such discussions will be completed; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2219/16]

My Department officials and representatives of the Dublin Archdiocese and of the local parish have agreed that the property to which the Deputy refers will be made available to the Department for educational use. My officials are continuing to work closely with the Archdiocesan authorities on the practicalities of the property issues involved and work is well advanced in this regard.
