My Department has examined the long term accommodation needs of the Newcastle area of County Dublin and has determined that additional provision will be required to meet demand emanating from current and planned housing developments in the area.

The matter of how best this additional accommodation should be provided having regard to existing accommodation and the alternative options available is currently under consideration. A decision in this regard will be made as soon as possible.
