I am pleased to inform the Deputy that agreement has been reached to re-organise the two schools to which the Deputy refers to form junior and senior schools. In order to ensure that future demand for education through the medium of Irish in Clondalkin can be catered for, it is the Department's intention to plan for the delivery of two sixteen classroom schools. It has been agreed with County Dublin VEC that both schools can be developed on the site currently occupied by a second level all Irish school. Consequently, additional capacity will also be required at that second level school. The site is currently being master-planned and the school authorities will be kept up to date in that regard.
