I wish to confirm to the Deputy that a new school building for the school in question was completed in 2019. The new school provides capacity for a minimum of 1,000 pupils as well as accommodation for students with special education needs.
In the context of meeting the demographic demand for post primary provision in this school planning area, additional capacity is proposed for two other post primary schools. It is intended that the combined capacity of all three post primary schools will meet the future demographic demand for this school planning area. My Department therefore considers that further additional capacity at the school to which he refers is not warranted.
