As the Deputy will be aware, I have given the go-ahead for the delivery of a new 1,000 pupil post-primary school in Phibblestown area of Dublin 15.
This new school will be delivered along with new schools in Donabate and Laytown under a design and build contract and the Department is working with the relevant parties on the delivery of these projects within the earliest possible timeframe.
In the Tyrrelstown area of Dublin 15 the Department has reserved a site for a further post primary school and it is examining site possibilities for a new post primary school in the Castleknock area with the local authority.
The educational reservation in the Hansfield SDZ allows for the development of a post primary school for up to 1,000 pupils. A project manager has recently been appointed to oversee the development of educational provision on the Hansfield site.
