834. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills in view of the M4 study in relation to the provision of secondary schools, the steps she will take to advance the conclusion of the study that a secondary school should be provided in the Kinnegad area of County Westmeath due to the continuing expansion of the population in Westmeath's third largest town; if a site has already been provided; if she will include such a school in the forthcoming five year plan; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

My Department is currently analysing the latest demographic data on a nationwide basis to determine where additional school accommodation might be needed at post-primary level in the coming years. This process includes an examination of the Kinnegad area. When this exercise has been completed arrangements will be made to make additional accommodation available where it is needed.
