The Area Development Plan (ADP) published recently by the Commission on School Accommodation recommends that two sixteen classroom schools be provided on the school campus site at Donabate. The national school referred to by the Deputy is currently located in temporary accommodation on that site and it is intended that one of the new school buildings will provide permanent accommodation for the school in question.
The Department has appointed a project manager to oversee the development of the Donabate school campus site. Provision has been made in the master planning of this site for a post primary school and two sixteen classroom primary schools.
The Department is monitoring the emerging demand for primary school places in the Donabate area and will respond to any requirement for additional accommodation in a timely manner.
