As the Deputy will be aware the Programme for Government includes a commitment to establish a Developing Areas Unit in my Department, dedicated solely to progressing school planning in rapidly developing areas, building on improvements that have already been made in recent years. This Developing Areas Unit, in conjunction with Fingal County Council has been working to identify and acquire sites, under the Fingal School Model, for rapidly growing areas, including the area to which the Deputy refers. A permanent site for the school to which the Deputy refers will be identified by Fingal County Council as part of their Local Area Plan.

I advise the Deputy that a site has been identified for the school in question and will be acquired in the context of my Department's Multi-Annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.
