The Deputy will be aware that my Department established a new primary school in Navan in September 2010. In addition, other developments including extensions to existing schools together with the provision of new primary schools in the area are currently at various stages of the architectural planning process. These developments are expected to cater for the projected pupil growth in the Navan area at primary level over the coming years. My Department has no plans to extend the school to which he refers in the foreseeable future.
