Question:270 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Education the plans, if any, she has for the future of the Mercy Convent Secondary School, Moyderwell, Tralee, County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
Written Answers. - Tralee (Kerry) School.
In 1989 my Department proposed, and the Mercy Order agreed, that the long term needs of Tralee post-primary centre would be best served by an amalgamation of its two post-primary schools in Tralee, at Moyderwell and Balloonagh, into a single post-primary school on the Balloonagh site.
A number of discussions have been held with the Mercy Order on the implementation of the amalgamation proposals, which would involve a major building project on the Balloonagh site, but the matter has not been brought to a conclusion.
