A new post-primary school (Galway City ETSS) was established in September 2019 in order to meet demographic needs of two adjoining school planning areas, namely Galway City and Oranmore. This school is currently operating in interim accommodation while my Department is sourcing a permanent accommodation solution. Work is ongoing in this regard. My Department is engaged in a site-identification exercise and is engaging with the local authority on the matter. My Department will engage with Galway City Council on the review of the City Development plan to ensure suitable sites are zoned to meet educational requirements within the area.
