My Department is satisfied that there is sufficient demand in the area for the school to which the Deputy refers to grow to 16 classrooms when fully developed, which would accommodate in the region of 448 pupils. In this regard, the Department understands that there is already sizeable interest from parents for enrolment for 2015. This development in year two onwards would be in line with expectations when new schools are established. The current enrolment in the school is five pupils and this is expected to grow further in the coming weeks.
