I propose to take Questions Nos. 820, 857 and 871 together.
In response to the need for additional primary school places in Celbridge, the Department recognised a new primary school which commenced operation this September. The schools initial intake was 79 pupils.
The school is located in temporary accommodation, the refurbishment of which was funded by the Department to ensure that it was suitable for school use. Discussions are on-going with the local authority in relation to a site for a permanent home for the school.
