Séadchomhartha Náisiúnta agus Seandálaí le Ceapadh|Planning Permission Update

Mar choinníoll don chead pleanála faighte an mhí seo caite (agus deimhnithe inné) don scoil bhuan tá seandálaí le ceapadh le measúnú ar thionchar seandalaíochta a thuairisc sula gcuirfear tús le aon obair ar an suíomh.

De réir dealramh fuarthas tri pholl ilghnéitheach i rith réamhthochailt don gcuarbhóthar 2001 agus tá siad aitheanta ar shuirbhé seandaláíochta na hÉireann. De bharr san caithfear an measúnú seo a chur i gcríoch nuair ata tionscnamh tógála gar do a lethéid de shéadchomhartha. Tá foireann dearaidh na scoile ar tí an seandalaí a cheapadh dá fhoireann agus ta súil nach gcuirfidh sé moill ar thionscnamh na scoile buaine. Níos tábhachtaí agus fós le socrú tá ceist maoinithe don tionscnamh agus táimid ag súil go gcuirfear ainm na scoile ar liosta tógála na Roinne Oideachais.

Planning Permission Granted for New School but Archaeologist to Assess Site

One of the 14 conditions applied last month to the grant of planning permission for Gaelscoil Philib Barún’s new school is that an archaeological impact assessment be carried out by a registered archaeologist. The permission was confirmed this week.

During the construction of the Ring Road in 2001 it appears that a series of small holes identified as ‘miscellaneous excavations’ were uncovered close to the Racecourse Roundabout. The construction of the school will involve excavation of an area close to a feature noted in the Archaeological Survey of Ireland and as such must be preceeded by an assessment of the archaeological impact of such a construction project.

The Design Team will shortly appoint the archaeologist who will undertake this immediately. There will be no delay to the project as a result we are assured.

The addition of Gaelscoil Philib Barún to the DES building list is more pertinent as the funding for the construction of the school cannot be accessed without our inclusion on a building list. The BOM have requested that we be added to the existing 5 year building programme as a matter of urgency.

Details on the monument referred to can be accessed on the Archaeological Survey of Ireland website (using Lookup Monument No.:WA026-083–)
