Amharc ar fhreagraThe enrolment policy for the new school referred to by the Deputy is a matter for its board of management and is to be decided in consultation with the other primary schools in that town.
Construction work is well advanced on this new 16 classroom primary school. The school building also includes provision for two special classrooms for children with autism. Approximately half of the classrooms in the new school are expected to be ready for September 2005. This is expected to be more than sufficient to cater for the school's immediate accommodation needs. The balance of the school building is scheduled for completion in November 2005.
