I am pleased to inform the Deputy that my Department has approved the provision of a new post primary school and a new primary school for the area to which he refers. The projects concerned are included in the new schools to be provided under my Department's extended Public Private Partnership Programme. I have already announced the first two bundles of school projects to progress under this Programme.

The make up of further school bundles will be determined by my Department in consultation with the National Development Finance Agency (NDFA) on such issues as the band rating allocated to each school project, site availability, outline planning permission having being secured, geographical spread and the estimated total cost of the proposed school bundle. The projects to which the Deputy refers will be considered for progress in this context.

A site has been reserved in Greystones Local Area Development Plan for the Blacklion area. It is the Department's plan to develop this site commensurate with the delivery of housing developments. While there are no immediate plans to develop this site, the Department will be liaising with the local authority to establish the proposed rate and pace of housing developments to enable a time line for the development of schools.
