As I recently advised the Deputy, the development of an educational campus for Navan is already in train. This will provide for a primary, post primary and special school to cater for the projected pupil growth in the Navan area over the coming years.

My Department has no plans to provide a new school building for the school to which he also refers. However, I am pleased to advise the Deputy that the school concerned was recently invited to participate in the Department's Prefab Replacement Programme which is an initiative to replace rented prefabs with permanent accommodation. A response from the school to this invitation is awaited.
