Green Party Castleknock ward candidate, Roderic O’Gorman has called on the Minister for Education, Batt O’Keeffe to quickly obtain a permanent site for the newly sanctioned Luttrellstown Community College.
“Like everyone else, I’m delighted that the Department of Education has confirmed that it has sanctioned a new secondary school for the Carpenterstown area. This new school, to be called Luttrellstown Community College, will be run by the VEC”.
“I have been in communication with the Minister for Education to urge him to swiftly obtain a permanent site for this school. With the decrease in land prices, I think it is vital that Fingal County Council and the Department move quickly to obtain a permanent site on the Kellystown lands. While we have just undergone a very tough budget, there was significant increase in funding for school building projects and Luttrellstown CC is an ideal candidate”, stated Roderic O’Gorman.
“While the Minister, in his responses to me, makes the point that he cannot divulge commercial information during the procurement process, it is vital that parents are assured that the Department will act quickly to develop the new school and that students will not be left in pre-fabs for years”, concluded Roderic O’Gorman.
