The building project for the new post-primary school to serve Carpenterstown/Castleknock is included in the Department’s 6 year construction programme.

Officials in the Department are liaising with officials in Fingal County Council in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding in relation to the identification and acquisition of a suitable location for the school and are currently examining site options.

Due to commercial sensitivities relating to site acquisitions generally, I am not in a position to provide further details at this time but the school patron will be informed of the proposed location for the school as soon as it is possible to do so.
