Planning is in progress for the provision of a new national school for Deansrath, County Dublin. The school will be located off Nangor Road. The question of the invitation of tenders will be considered when contract documents have been completed, when services to the site have been provided and when title to the site has been established or alternatively permission to enter the site for building purposes has been given. It is not possible to state when building work may commence.

asked the Minister for Education if she will give details of the plans to provide a second level school to serve the Bawnogue area of Clondalkin, County Dublin; the site that has been reserved or provided for this purpose; and when this school is likely to open.
It is proposed to provide a new second-level school in the Bawnogue area of Clondalkin, County Dublin. Negotiations are currently taking place with a view to the purchase of a suitable site. At this stage of planning, I am not in a position to say when the new school will be ready for occupation.

asked the Minister for Education the steps that have been taken to ensure that temporary accommodation will be made available on the site for a second-level school in Neilstown, Clondalkin, County Dublin, in view of the fact that a considerable number of primary school sixth classes in the area will have been completed by the summer of 1983.
The permanent second-level school for Neilstown, Clondalkin is expected to be opened in September of next year. I am taking every step possible to ensure this deadline is kept.
It had been envisaged that the school might open in September of this year in temporary accommodation and then move to the permanent accommodation in September of next year.
Difficulties which have arisen in relation to temporary accommodation require that the opening of the school must await the permanent building.
