I propose to take Questions Nos. 562 and 582 together.

The School Planning Section of the Department is currently examining educational provision at primary and post primary level in the Waterford City area. Factors under consideration include population growth, demographic trends, current and projected enrolments, recent and planned housing developments. When this examination has been completed, the Department will bring forward plans as to how best the school accommodation needs of the area can be met into the future. The school to which the Deputies refer is included in the examination being carried out.
