Ceist:225 Mr. Kehoe asked the Minister for Education and Science the progress made on the new secondary school in Gorey, County Wexford. [23044/06]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Deputy will be aware that the proposed new post primary school for Gorey will be delivered by way of a Public Private Partnership. The school will cater for up to 1,000 pupils. This level of accommodation is based on assessment of the demographics emanating from current and future housing developments.
My Department is in discussion with the local authority with regard to the identification of a suitable site for the School referred to by the Deputy. I will be announcing further PPP project bundles during the year and the school referred to by the Deputy will be considered in this context and in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria.
My Department will be engaging with the relevant education partners as regards the process and arrangements that will be required to ensure a smooth transition from a one school centre to a two school centre. Part of this process will involve defining the enrolment policies that will underpin effective provision once Gorey becomes a two school centre, the enrolment policy that should operate at the existing post primary school during the transition period and the management model.
