Written answers

Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

Officials in the school planning section of my Department are re-assessing the accommodation needs of the school referred to by the Deputy in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria which was revised following consultation with the education partners.

Until a final decision is taken on this matter, the property management section of the OPW, which acquires sites on behalf of my Department, is not in a position to further progress the matter of the acquisition of a site for the school.
