Minister for Education (Ms Bhreathnach)

My Department is at present finalising a major evaluation of post primary school accommodation needs in the Drogheda area. The question of acquiring the premises referred to by the Deputy will be considered as part of this evaluation. I hope to be in a position to make a decision on the matter in the very near future.
