Modular accommodation was installed in Summer 2021 at the site of the school referred to by the Deputy to accommodate interim accommodation for another post-primary school which has since relocated to its permanent site in the 2022/23 academic year.

The modular accommodation is now under the management of Dublin & Dún Laoghaire Education & Training Board (DDLETB), patron of the school referred to by the Deputy. DDLETB have confirmed that the accommodation is in use by the school. Any queries regarding the operation or management of the accommodation should be directed to DDLETB in the first instance.
