SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/FONTHILL AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, February 25, 2020

MOTION NO. 18

MOTION: Councillor L. Kinsella-Colman

This committee agrees to write to the Minister for Education requesting a timeline on the commencement and completion dates of the new building for Griffeen Community College.

REPORT:

Following recent email correspondence with the Department it was clarified that:

‘Griffeen Community College will remain at its current location in Kishoge Community College which will be further enhanced with additional temporary accommodation for the school, to be delivered by the patron, Dublin and Dun Laoghaire (DDLETB) in late 2020. DDLETB believes that this solution will meet the needs of the school, the students and their parents/ guardians for the coming year.

Separately, arrangements are being made by the Department of Education and Skills to advance the provision of a new permanent school building for Griffeen Community College’.

The Council is currently in the process of identifying a site with the Department within the Clonburris SDZ. The Council is actively working on resolving some outstanding issues before a disposal can be brought before the Council for their consideration. Further updates on this matter can be brought to the Committee in due course.
