My Department welcomes the proposed amalgamation of the schools to which the Deputy refers and it has instructed the OPW, which acts on its behalf in site acquisitions generally, to explore the possibility of acquiring a site to facilitate the new school. The school's accommodation needs will be considered in the context of the school building programme for 2005 to 2009.
