The project to provide an additional 1,980 square metres of accommodation at Coláiste Eanna had reached stage 1, site report-suitability, of architectural planning. However, I recently announced the provision of a new second level school at Knocklyon. The planning section of my Department is currently assessing the long-term accommodation requirements at this new school. This exercise involves an impact study on Coláiste Eanna. Pending the outcome of the study, it will not be possible to progress the architectural planning of the project at the school. The matter will be dealt with speedily to minimise the delay in providing the appropriate level of accommodation at Coláiste Eanna.
