The initial requirement in Adamstown is for two primary schools and one post-primary school. These schools will cater for about 900 primary pupils and 1,000 post-primary pupils. The immediate requirement is for the primary schools and I am pleased to advise the Deputy that my Department is liaising directly with the developers in Adamstown on the procurement of these schools under a design and build. I understand that the developers have recently applied for planning permission for these schools and it is intended that construction will commence later this year with a view to facilitating the first intake of pupils in September 2007.
