The school referred to by the Deputy is one of 27 new schools to be provided under my Departments PPP Programme. The First Bundle consisting of four post-primary schools — two in Co. Laois and two in Co. Offaly — are in procurement and are likely, subject to the successful completion of the Local Authority Planning process, to go to construction this year. The Second Bundle, consisting of six schools — 5 post primary and 1 primary school in Counties Cork, Limerick, Kildare, Meath and Wicklow — have completed pre-procurement and will be offered to the market shortly.

I intend to announce further PPP project bundles during the year and the school referred to by the Deputy is being considered in this context.
