I wish to advise the Deputy that whilst the information requested is not available on an electoral or constituency area basis, the attached table provides details of the current development status of new schools in the Dublin South West area.
Due to commercial sensitivities, it is not possible to provide further details in relation to the site acquisition position on particular projects. When the site acquisition process is completed, the project concerned will be advanced within the architectural planning process.

My Department plans to provide a new post-primary school at the site to which the Deputy refers.
The school building project is included in my Department's five year building programme to proceed to Tender and Construction in 2015/16. This new school will operate under the patronage of the local Education and Training Board.
The design team appointed were the winners of the post-primary school design competition held in 2012. The Design Team are currently finalising the developed sketch design of this project, for presentation to my Department.
