Question:205 Mr. J. Mitchell asked the Minister for Education if, in respect of St. Kevin's community college, Quarryvale, Clondalkin, Dublin 22, she will give the estimated number of pupils expected to enrol there in September, 1991 and for each of the succeeding five years; if, having regard to her earlier replies to parliamentary questions on the school, she will outline the position in relation to the promised permanent building for the school at Fonthill Road, Clondalkin; whether the building of a 400 place school with a permanent structure as proposed will go ahead and that any numbers over and above that number will be dealt with by either temporary or semi-permanent classrooms; the reason architect's drawings, recently shown to parents of pupils of the school and staff do not seem to included any permanent classrooms other than practical rooms; if, having regard to the fact that (1) fifth year and second year classes are only going to school for half days and (2) that when the temporary accommodation at Fonthill Road is occupied the pupils will be alternating between the Clondalkin and Lucan sites, whether they are doing academic or practical subjects, she accepts that the provision of a permanent school structure on one site is an urgent necessity; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
