Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 94 and 95 together.

I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department has initiated a site identification and assessment exercise for a 1,000 pupil post primary school in the area in question and its environs. While a site acquisition process is underway and, given the commercial sensitivities associated with land acquisitions generally, I am not in a position to comment further at this time

A similar exercise was undertaken a number of years ago which proved unsuccessful and the current exercise will establish if the situation has changed in the intervening period.

The master planning process is well advanced. The outcome of this process will determine the next steps to be taken.

Question No. 95 answered with Question No. 94.
