The intention is that Shellybanks Educate Together National School will open in temporary accommodation in September 2014 in a building on the Simmonscourt Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4. An application for planning permission has been lodged to enable this.
The school will be starting up with an enrolment of 3 junior infant classes or some 84 pupils.
With regard to permanent accommodation, a number of site options are currently being examined by my Department. Due to the commercially sensitive nature of site acquisitions generally it is not possible to give further information on this issue at this time.
