As already stated in my reply dated 30th January, 2008 the Department plans to provide a new primary school for the Aston Village area of Drogheda next September. An application in respect of this new school has been made to the New Schools Advisory Committee (NSAC) by a recognised Patron. The New Schools Advisory Committee is an independent body and therefore I am not in a position to comment on their deliberations. I expect to be in a position to make an announcement when the NSAC makes recommendations to me later this month.
