My Department is aware of the need for additional school accommodation in the general area referred to by the Deputy. With this in mind my Department is engaged in the process of acquiring a site and to this end has applied for planning permission as part of the exchange of contracts. The future Patronage of any schools constructed on this property will be in the context of the educational demand in the area and the outcome of the application for planning permission. When the acquisition of a suitable site is concluded, the proposed building project will be considered in the context of the capital budget available to my Department for school buildings generally.
