Minister for Education and Science (Mr. N. Dempsey)

The Gaelscoil referred to by the Deputy is currently in temporary accommodation in the grounds of Naomh Fionnbarra GAA Club, Dublin 7. The delivery of a new school is dependent on the identification and subsequent acquisition of a suitable site in the area, together with the priority afforded to this project and the availability of capital funding to progress the project.
