HL Deb 22 January 2003 vol 643 c102WA
Lord Kilclooney

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What were the dates of the closure of (a) O'Neill Memorial School, Castlereagh and (b) Castle Gardens School, Newtownards; and what proposals there are for the future use of these buildings or their disposal. [HL960]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

O'Neill Memorial Primary School, Castlereagh and Castle Gardens Primary School, Newtownards both closed with effect from 31 August 2002.

The South-Eastern Education and Library Board does not own these properties but is pursuing the possibility of retention of the two properties for continued educational purposes, subject to legal formalities being satisfactorily resolved.
