The proposed new building for the school to which the Deputy refers is a major school building project which was included in the Five Year School Building Programme announced by the Department in March 2012, with the new school building to proceed to construction in 2015/16.

Officials from my Department have been in contact with the school's Board of Management to confirm that approval has been given to facilitate the disposal of lands at Duntahane, Fermoy to my Department to provide a site for the school. The next step is the satisfactory completion of the conveyancing process. Officials from my Department will be in contact with the school's Board of Management to keep them informed of progress in this regard.
