An agreement was reached by the Patron to rationalise provision of post-primary provision in the Tuam area to establish a single boys' school. The Patron has offered to provide a site to accommodate the new school and I understand is in discussions with the County Council in relation to same. As soon as the site issue is finalised, the building project required to deliver the appropriate accommodation will be considered in the context of the multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.
