Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

My Department has identified the need for a new primary school in the Rochestown area of Cork. A site for this purpose has been reserved by the local authority and the Department has confirmed with the local authority the continued need for the site in question and is currently pursuing its acquisition.
