With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 18 and 19 together.
It is proposed to locate the new school for boys adjacent to the existing open school at Oberstown, County Dublin. The location for the girls' school has not yet been decided, but it is contemplated that it will be within convenient reach of Dublin. As detailed planning of the school for boys has only just commenced, I am not yet in a position to announce the expected date of opening. The schools will be classified and operated as special national schools. My immediate priority is to provide the buildings: the management structure for the schools will be decided in due course following consultation with all the interests concerned.
