Amharc ar fhreagraI wish to inform the Deputy that I recently announced that Macquarie Partnerships for Ireland have been selected as the preferred tenderer for the provision of four new schools including the school in question, which form the first bundle of PPP schools projects to be delivered under my Department's 2006-2010 PPP programme.
It is envisaged subject to the planning process, that construction will commence in early 2008 and the four new schools will be available from September 2009.
