I wish to advise the Deputy that the Report concerned, which I will make available on receipt, is currently being finalised. Any delay, I understand, is due to more up to date school demographic information being incorporated into the Report.

As the Deputy may be aware, my Department is currently undertaking a nationwide demographic exercise to determine where additional post-primary school accommodation might be needed from 2017 onwards. In that context, the Report concerned will assist in identifying the educational accommodation needed to cater for increased demand.
