Based on current demographic trends, my Department anticipates that there will be a need for a further post-primary school in the area referred to by the Deputy in the medium term and it has asked the local County Council to identify a site for this development.

A timeframe for the delivery of the school will be known when a suitable site has been identified and acquired. The local authority has a number of Local Area Plans in train and it is likely that we will be able to secure a site under this process. My Department is conscious of the lead-in period for the delivery of a post-primary school and it would be anxious to conclude the site issue as soon as possible. It will continue to engage with the local authority until this matter is resolved.
