A 6-acre site for primary school provision in Tyrellstown has been identified and negotiations are ongoing with the owner. As the Deputy will appreciate, due to the commercial sensitivities attached to site acquisition, I cannot comment further on the matter at this time.

Subject to legal acquisition of the site and a full review of other provision in the area, this site will be developed to provide accommodation for up to two 24 classroom schools, each of which would have a 3 stream junior infant intake. This equates to a pupil intake of 162 junior infants per year. Any proposed development of the site will be considered in the context of the multi-annual school building and modernisation programme.
