Based on current demographic trends my Department anticipates that there will be a need for a further post-primary school in the Lucan area in the medium term. Officials from the Department have carried out a technical inspection of the various site options identified by South Dublin County Council. On foot of the technical report my officials wrote to the council to advise them of the preferred site option and have recently met with the Local Authority with a view to commencing negotiations. Due to the commercial sensitivities pertaining to site acquisitions it is not possible for me to comment further at this time.
