The Department acknowledges the need for a permanent solution to meet the long term accommodation needs of the school to which the Deputy refers. The Department is actively looking at proposals regarding an alternative site for the school. However, due to the sensitivities surrounding site acquisitions, I am unable to comment on specifics at this time.

The need for a new school building on a new site for Blennerville National School is acknowledged by my Department. A suitable site has recently been acquired. The building project required to deliver the new school will be progressed in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme 2006-2010. In the interim, my Department has approved the provision of a prefabricated classroom to alleviate immediate accommodation difficulties.
