"That this Area Committee commends the Minister for Education and Skills for the progress to date in commencing developments planned under his Departments' five year school building programme. However, this Committee further expresses its concerns over the continuing omission from this programme of five well-established Catholic-patronage schools in the Lucan area; and therefore calls on the Department of Education and Skills to:

  • Conduct an audit of the cost-effectiveness and suitability of maintaining pre-fabs on site at Archbishop Ryan JNS & SNS in Balgaddy and at St. Thomas NS & Scoil Áine Naofa at Esker;
  • If, on foot of this audit, it is considered appropriate to replace the prefabs, then proceed to provide (through devolved grants if appropriate) the funding to develop extensions or additional shared standalone buildings to accommodate each school's additional requirements;  
  • In the case of St. Mary's Girls NS in Lucan Village, to request that the school's long-standing request for a refurbishment and an integrated extension to join-up the two separate buildings be reviewedand granted; and
  • Finally; again requests that officials of the Department 'Planning & Building Unit' meet with members of this Committee to review school-planning policy in the Lucan area; and this meeting take place before the elected members of this Council would be asked to consider any land disposal to Department for school developments in the Lucan area.
