A commitment for a new secondary school in Ballincollig was made in recognition of the growing population and increasing demand in the area. Families in the area - in Ballynora and Ovens out as far as Aherla, and in Ballincollig itself - are finding it extremely stressful trying to get places for first years for the year ahead in local schools. There has been no apparent development or progress on getting the new school up and running. A patron has not been identified, and progress needs to be made on getting a site and so on. When will the process for getting a patron for the new secondary school in Ballincollig get under way, and can it be prioritised when it is started?
