Written answers

Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

The capital programme for 2004 indicated that a new post-primary school will be provided in the Dublin 15 area. My Department is currently pursuing the acquisition of a suitable site for this purpose. When the acquisition process is complete a post-primary school will be constructed to cater for in excess of 800 pupils.
