View answerIn May this year my Department approved the purchase of an 18 acre site from Cork County Council. It is envisaged that this site will facilitate the construction of a post-primary community college and a primary gaelscoil. The site acquisition process is well advanced.
The project for the school to which the Deputy refers will be progressed in the context of the multi-annual school building programme from 2005, preparation of which is currently under way in the school planning section of my Department. I expect to provide details of this multi-annual programme before the end of the current year.
