I wish to advise the Deputy that the information is not available in the format requested, however, the relevant patronage assessment report which includes a map of the school planning area which this school was established to serve and details of parental preferences in this regard are available at the following link: .

I can also advise the Deputy that officials from my Department communicated both verbally and by email to the Patron, An Foras Pátrúnachta on 28th April 2021 to advise about the alternative interim accommodation arrangements for Sept 2021. I understand that the Patron, in turn, informed the school of this communication on the same day.In addition, officials from my Department routinely meet with the representatives of the Patron, An Foras Pátrúnachta every 4 - 6 weeks to discuss progress made on site acquisitions for schools under this patronage, including the school referred to by the Deputy.

In addition to this, An Foras Pátrúnachta are informed of all developments in the site acquisition processes as soon as it is possible to do so.
