I appreciate the case that the Deputy makes. I recognise the necessity for the area. The key issue is that the school site is extremely constrained, as the Deputy identified. That is presenting considerable challenges in delivering the required volume of accommodation necessary for the school. It is a tribute to the school that it is growing. The Department is heavily committed to working to formulate an appropriate long-term solution to meet the accommodation needs of the school. We are doing that. I acknowledge the co-operation of the school's patron, Dublin and Dún Laoghaire ETB. A number of different, appropriate options are being explored. The Deputy will appreciate that, for every option, there needs to be a considered evaluation and that is a time constraint. I assure the Deputy that priority is being given to this matter.
