The five schools at present being erected are:—
Asdee, Ballybunion Convent, Castledrum, Coars, Clogher.
It is not possible to name the individual schools which will be built in the next two years but the preparation of schemes is in hands for the following:
Ardfert, Ballyhearney, Caherdaniel, Duagh, Glen, Kilgarvan, Kilmurry, Lansdowne, Mastergeehy, Murhur, Portmagee, Ranalough.
Between these and other cases which may mature it is expected that twelve will reach the building stage in the next two financial years.
How many schools were closed in the last 12 months?
I do not know. The Question did not ask for that information. Anyway it should be directed to another Department.
