Officials in the school planning section of my Department, in conjunction with the schools management authorities are examining the provision of primary education in the area in question. The purpose of the examination is to determine the likely demand for primary school places in the medium to long term and how existing provision can be maximised to cater for this demand. The school planning section began this examination in May 2004 and it has been in communication with the school authorities on a number of occasions since then.
My Department will endeavour to complete the examination within a realistic timescale. When it has been completed, a decision will be made on the appropriate allocation of capital funding to meet identified future needs.
