View answerThe Property Management Section of the Office of Public Works which acts on behalf of my Department in relation to site acquisitions generally has been requested to source a site for the Gaelscoil in question. That Section is at present assessing a site option in the Coonagh area.
The school has an enrolment of 229 pupils. My Department is aware of the need to provide a new school building and as soon as the site issue is resolved the project will be considered for advancement under School Building and modernisation Programme 2006 to 2010.
