As the Deputy will be aware, the Department is working closely with Fingal County Council in relation to a number of sites to be acquired under the Fingal School Model Agreement for educational provision in the Dublin 15 area for 2008 and onwards.

A site is being actively pursued under this Model to provide additional post primary places in the Castleknock area. A time line for the delivery of a new school can be set once a site has been acquired.
