The Department is aware of the need for a new post primary school in town to which the Deputy refers.

In that context, a new school building on a greenfield site is planned for that town. Progression of all projects to tender and construction, including the project in question, will be considered in the context of my Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.
