As outlined in the response, the Minister will liaise with the patron of North Wicklow Educate Together when a further update is available. As regards the issue being finalised, I have not been give specific timeframes but the matter is a priority for Government. Nobody wants a scenario to arise where an active school does not have accommodation. There is no prospect of 200 students being homeless next May, as the Deputy suggested. Short-term measures are needed until the new school is built, after which a permanent home must be provided. The Minister made clear in the statement I read out that he will liaise with the patron of North Wicklow Educate Together to that effect.
