Written answers

Minister for Education and Science (Deputy Mary Hanafin)

As the Deputy will be aware the Department is moving to acquire a number of sites reserved in the Balbriggan area under the Fingal School Model Agreement for the provision of educational facilities. A permanent site for the school referred to by the Deputy is being acquired under this process.

With regard to the necessary re-location of the school at the end of the 2007/08 school-year, officials in the School Planning Section of the Department are considering alternative accommodation options as a matter of priority.
