Question 92: To ask the Minister for Education and Science the reason the Area Development Plan for north Dublin, south Louth and east Meath is only due to commence in December 2006 in view of the fact that the need for such a plan was identified in 2004 and the specific and urgent need for a new school in Laytown was pointed out in that year also; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The Plan for Education Provision in East Meath/North Dublin/South Louth area is currently being revised in the School Planning Section of the Department to take into account the preliminary Census figures published recently.

In relation to Laytown, Co. Meath, the Department acknowledged the need for a new primary school in this area and as a result Scoil Oilibhéir Naofa was established with provisional recognition in 2005/06.
