View answerAs the Deputy will probably be aware, a new post-primary school is due to open in Naas in 2015. The school cater for 1,000 pupils when fully developed.
My Department is currently analysing the latest demographic data on a nationwide basis to determine where additional school accommodation might be needed from 2015 onwards. This process includes an examination of the Naas area. When this exercise has been completed arrangements will be made to make additional accommodation available where it is needed.
