I propose to take Questions Nos. 133 and 147 together.

The school building project referred to by the Deputies has been included on the 5 year construction programme for 2015/16. The conveyancing procedures for the proposed site for the new school are underway and pending their conclusion further details cannot be provided owing to commercial sensitivities. My Department will shortly be in contact with the school regarding the further progression of the project.

I recently announced the provision of a 1,000 pupil post-primary school for the Ballinteer/Stepaside feeder area. This school will commence operation in September 2016. Also, a 500 pupil Gaelchóláiste is opening in September to 2014 to serve this general area. In addition, a new 1,000 pupil school is being established in 2016 in the north Wicklow area. This school is intended to cater for the Kilternan feeder area among others. The Kilternan feeder area encompasses Glencullen. The areas in question will be kept under review to ensure that any further needs are identified and met.
