Question 236: To ask the Minister for Education and Science when he will grant recognition to a proposed Gaelcholáiste (details supplied) in County Dublin; the reason for the delay; the date for recognition of the new school; if he will use some of the €396 million which has yet to be spent in its capital budget for 2009 to ensure sufficient accommodation can be provided for the school; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The forward planning section of my Department is in the process of carrying out detailed analysis of over 40 locations of highest population growth in order to identify the school accommodation requirements up to and including the 2014-15 school year. When the required reports have been completed for the initial areas selected, the forward planning section will continue to work on preparing reports on a priority basis for the remainder of the country. Overall post-primary accommodation requirements in the Dundrum area, including the case for the provision of a new Irish language post-primary school, will be considered in this regard.
