398 Mr. Broughan asked the Minister for Education and Science the timeframe for the provision of an all-Irish second level school for Coláiste Mhéanscoil, Átha Cliath Iar Thuaidh. [22396/99]
I fully support the development of all-Irish second level provision in north east Dublin, and I have recently re-affirmed my commitment on this matter to the promoters of Coláiste Mhéanscoil.
Following examination by my Department it was indicated that there would be significant demand for such a facility in view of the growth in the number of all-Irish primary schools in North Dublin. This examination also highlighted the fact that there is surplus post-primary accommodation in some schools in the area.
