COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

Thursday, June 18, 2015

MOTION NO. 148

MOTION: Councillor P. Foley

A secondary school should be built in the area south of the Oldcourt Road, Ballycullen over the course of this County Development Plan to cater for the age of school going children in that area. These lands should be earmarked now so that there is no future development on the Carrigwood Green.

REPORT:

Potential school sites are to be identified as part of a site selection process, carried out by SDCC in conjunction with the Department of Education and Skills (DES). Where the DES has identified a demand for school accommodation in a catchment area, SDCC will identify a number of potential sites and an evaluation process will be carried out in order to select the best possible available site. A school will be required for the area but it would be premature to undertake the site selection process as part of the County Development Plan. The site selection remains a matter for the Council and will be determined after due process.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is not adopted.
