asked the Minister for Education if he is aware of the urgent need for a post primary school in the area of Ronanstown/Rowlagh/Neilstown, Clondalkin, County Dublin; if he will give an estimate of how many post primary pupils will be in the area in September of this year; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 287 and 288 together.
I have approved a new 1,000 pupil second-level school for the Neilstown-Rowlagh area of Clondalkin, work on which, it is anticipated, will commence in 1982.
It is estimated that 130 pupils from the area will require places in second-level schools in September 1981 and that such places will be available for them in existing schools.
