Minister for Education and Science (Dr. Woods)

My Department is assessing the most efficient and cost-effective way of providing appropriate long-term accommodation at Carrowreigh national school, Taghmon, County Wexford. It is not possible at this point to give any indication as to the timetable for the provision of the accommodation.
