asked the Minister for Education the present position regarding the proposed new post-primary school at Cahirciveen, County Kerry.

My Department has approved the provision of a new single community college in Cahirciveen to replace the three existing schools in Cahirciveen and the vocational school in Waterville. A schedule of accommodation has been prepared and a planning briefing meeting with the school's design team has been held. Arrangements are at present being made in relation to the acquisition of the site and associated buildings.
