Minutes of Environment SPC Meeting 6th February 2008
Matter Arising
To ask the Manager to report on up-to-date progress made with the Campaign for a new Local Second Level School in Lucan South since my latest Motion to this Committee on 16th April 2008? Specifically since the meeting that took place with Officials from the Department of Education and Science School Planning Unit. What progress resulted from the contact made by the Department’s technical staff to the Planning Department in an attempt to arrange a joint site visit to inspect the Local Area Plan lands? In addition can it be confirmed that this new Second Level School will accommodate 1,000 pupils, and what time-scale has been committed for the delivery of the school? The local objective remains for the opening of this school in September 2009, particularly since the population of the age group 13-18 year olds in the Esker District Electoral Division in 2009 is 348, and this figure increases by a further 206 to 554 by 2010. In such circumstances there is a critical need for this Second Level School by September 2009. Would the Manager therefore convey this information to the Department of Education and Science and bring back a report, including reference to the fact in such similar circumstances elsewhere there is already precedence to introduce temporary Second Level School Accommodation whilst the permanent structure is being prepared, particularly for the case of Lucan South where this Second Level School is already long overdue, will help avoid dispersement of population, will contribute to improving the quality of life of the Local Community in Lucan South, and will assist in the reduction of traffic volumes and congestion in the Lucan South area? Finally, and since the early indications are that this will be V.E.C. Second Level School, will the Manager raise with the Department of Education and Science the important issue of the desire for the early establishment of an Interim Board of Management, which ideally would include representation from the Lucan South Secondary School Action Group in the interest of genuine local and meaningful consultation prior to the opening of this new Second Level School in Lucan South?
