[17771/06]
Amharc ar fhreagraOfficials in my Department are currently examining the demographics of the Kill area to determine the optimum school size required to meet the long term accommodation needs of the school to which he refers. This matter will be finalised as quickly as possible.
With regard to the site issue, the Property Management Section of the Office of Public Works was requested to source a site for the new school. A suitable site has been identified and an agreement on price, subject to contract, has been reached. The Office of Public Works is now awaiting receipt of the relevant Contract documents. It is my intention to progress the building of the school as soon as the site has been acquired.
