I propose to take Questions Nos. 87 to 90, inclusive, together.
In March 2011 approval was given for a number of new primary schools to commence operation in September 2011 and 2012 to cater for demographic needs. Approval was granted for two new primary schools in Ashbourne; one under the patronage of An Foras Pátrúnachta to commence operation in September 2011, and the second under the patronage of the patron referred to by the Deputy to commence operation in September 2012.
My Department is working closely with the Patron and Meath County Council in relation to ensuring that appropriate temporary accommodation required for September 2012 is in place.
My Department has also sought the assistance of, and is working closely with, the relevant Local Authority in relation to identifying and acquiring a suitable permanent site for the school referred to by the Deputy. However, due to commercial sensivities attaching to site acquisitions generally, I am not in a position to comment further at this time.
