The N4/M4 Area Development Plan indicates that a post primary school will not be required for Kinnegad until post 2011. The Department will ask the local authority to reserve a site at the appropriate time for this development.

The Office of Public Works (OPW), which acts on behalf of my Department in the acquisitions of sites for schools has been asked to source a suitable site for the school in question. At this stage a number of sites has been identified and the OPW expects to shortly enter into in negotiations on the most suitable of these sites.
