The school referred to by the Deputy is part of an amalgamation project with the SN Peadar agus Pol to provide a new 16 classroom school. The new school will be known as Scoil Mocheallóg.

The project is currently at an early stage of architectural planning. A full Design Team has recently been appointed for the project. My Department, in a letter dated September 28th, 2006, authorised the Design Team to prepare a Stage 1/2 submission (Site Suitability/ Sketch Scheme). When the completed submission is forwarded by the Design Team to my Department, my Officials will be in a position to further progress this project.

Progression of the project to tender and construction will be considered in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme 2006-2010.
