I propose to take Questions Nos. 100, 102 and 103 together.

Acquisition of a 6 acre site for primary school provision in Tyrellstown is well advanced at contract stage. The site is such that it should provide accommodation for up to two 24 classroom schools, each of which would have a 3 stream junior infant intake. This equates to a pupil intake of 162 junior infants per year.

The Department will be discussing the configuration and size of the schools with the two patron bodies concerned, Educate Together and the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin.
