My Department is currently investigating a number of options for the long-term accommodation needs of the school referred to by the Deputy.
Among the options under consideration is the possible purchase of a site. The OPW, which acts on behalf of my Department in site acquisition matters generally, is investigating this option. The school planning section is also looking at the overall future provision of primary education in the area in which this school is located. It is currently engaged in discussions with the primary education providers concerned. No decisions will be taken regarding capital investment pending the conclusion of this broader examination of the area.
