1409. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills her plans to locate the proposed Educate Together second level school in Carrigaline, County Cork, where there is an existing Educate Together primary school, in line with the conclusions of her Department's forward planning section assessment report; if it is located outside Carrigaline, the way in which parity of access for Carrigaline Educate Together students will be ensured; when this project will commence; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The outcome of the patronage determination process for new post-primary schools for the Cork area was to establish one new school for the Cork South Suburbs area and one for the Carrigaline area to meet the demographic needs across these areas.

My Department is currently working with Cork County Council to secure sites to facilitate the schools. When sites have been secured, my Department will be in contact with the respective patrons on the locations of the individual schools and the provision of accommodation for the schools will be progressed.
