Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

The schools to which the Deputy refers have agreed to amalgamate into a single school and my officials are in discussion with the trustee and the local authority regarding how best to provide for the new school and such issues as site configuration, etc. These discussions are ongoing in tandem with consideration for progression in the context of the school building and modernisation programme 2005-2009.
