Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

I am pleased to inform the Deputy that a suitable site has been identified for the new school to which he refers. Contracts for the site in question are with the Chief State Solicitor's Office. Architectural planning for the new development has commenced and my Department is awaiting grant of planning permission for the building project.
