I propose to take Questions Nos. 245, 246, 250 and 251 together.
The Deputy will be aware that, in early 1994, I accepted the recommendations of Dr. Bannon's report and decided not to proceed with the construction of a post-primary school for the Knocklyon area.
In light of the Knocklyon post-primary committee's response to the original report and the assessment carried out by Mr. Hendrik van der Kamp at the request of the committee, I asked that the position regarding the need for a school be re-examined by Dr. Bannon.
This examination, which was completed in January last, concluded that no new information emerged in either the committee's response to the original report, or in the assessment carried out by Mr. van der Kamp, which would justify a change in the decision. Dr. Bannon was satisfied that the latest information available was used to arrive at the conclusions and recommendations in his 1994 report and in his more recent review.
