Donabate and Portrane Community Council

The Donabate Portrane Community Council has been informed by Karl Fitzmaurice, Buildings Officer of County Dublin VEC that a planning application has been lodged with Fingal County Council today, 12th March 2010 to build the permanent structure for Donabate Community College.

The planning process will take 12 weeks and presuming the planning process is successful, building will commence in early June 2010. We have also been reassured that this building will open in September 2011.

Chairperson of the Educational sub Committee David Moore said he was delighted with this event. Many people over several years had struggled to get to this day.
This is huge win for the community.

Meanwhile the permanent building of Educate Together Primary school is at the tendering stage and construction is due to commence later this year.

Statement from Chairperson Education Subcommittee

A Public meeting giving information of the permanent build of the Secondary school was held in the Community Centre on Monday 19th October 2009.

Originally the permanent build was to have been delivered to this community in September 2009. This was rescheduled to September 2010.

In an address to the public meeting I raised 2 concerns

1. Why have we missed the deadlines of September 2010?
2. Is the project going to be threatened by Capital expenditure cut backs in the forth coming budget?
