I have received a request from the County Laois Vocational Education Committee to erect a comprehensive school in Newstowncross. A detailed educational survey of the area is at present under way and will be completed shortly. My Department will then have discussions with the local educational interests involved to determine the most suitable method of providing post-primary education in the area.
