I propose to take Questions Nos. 30 and 31 together.

The Department of Education and Skills has written to my Department enquiring as to the availability of a suitable site for the provision of a post-primary school from within the Department's property portfolio in South Kildare. As the Curragh contains an operational military installation, officials from the Department have requested the views of the military authorities on the matter. I have been advised that these deliberations are ongoing.
