The school planning section of my Department is finalising its in depth analysis of both primary and post-primary education infrastructure in New Ross which included consultation with the trustees of the existing schools. In addition, a technical assessment has been carried out on all post-primary facilities with an equivalent assessment at primary level due to take place shortly.

The technical assessment aspect is the final strand required to enable a decision on educational infrastructure for the New Ross into the future. School planning section is endeavouring to bring this matter to a conclusion as quickly as possible.
