I do not consider that there has been undue delay on the part of my Department in the resolution of the problem associated with the proposed by-pass.
In the intervening period, Meath County Council, the Department of the Environment and my Department have reached agreement on this matter.
It is still my intention to continue with the planning of the community school project.
Its rate of progress, however, as in the case of all second level building projects, is dependent on the availability of capital resources and on my Department's other commitments and priorities.
