The Department is aware of the need to provide a long term solution to the accommodation needs of the school to which the Deputy refers. The provision of a permanent home for the school has a Band 1 priority status under the published prioritisation criteria for large scale building projects. Locating the school in the Skerries area is one of a number of possible solutions under consideration. The Department will be in contact with the school as soon as a decision has been taken.
