I propose to take Questions Nos. 570 and 589 together.
As the Deputy may be aware, the Department intends to acquire sites in the Dublin 15 area for the purposes of providing additional school places. My Department is aware of a need for further post primary provision in the Dublin 15 area. Due to the commercial sensitivities attaching to site acquisitions generally, the Deputy will appreciate that I am not in a position to comment on the details of the matter until such a time as the acquisitions have been completed. The patronage of the proposed new post-primary school is under active consideration at present.
