Minister for Education and Skills

I wish to advise the Deputy that in September 2012, a new school, under the patronage of Educate Together was established to meet the demographic needs of the area. The school currently operates in a former school property. It is the Department's intention to provide a permanent school building for the school and the procurement of a site for this purpose is currently in train. A decision on the future use of the premises currently occupied by the school will be taken in due course.
