Athlone town has been identified as an area of rapid development. In this regard, a decision has already been taken to replace and expand the existing Athlone Community College. The new building, when complete, will cater for 1,000 pupils. The project referred to by the Deputy has advanced to the point where the Schedule of Accommodation has been drawn up and is currently being finalised through consultation with the Vocational Educational Committee. Once the Schedule of Accommodation has been finalised and agreed, the building project required to deliver the new school building will be considered in the context of the multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.
