232 Mr. Yates asked the Minister for Education and Science if his attention has been drawn to the urgent need for the provision of a new school (details supplied) in County Wexford; if departmental funding can be obtained for such a project; the way in which a project can be pursued especially as a new site has been identified by the school authorities; and if he will outline his intentions for pursuing such a project.

The planning and building unit of my Department is currently examining the long-term accommodation requirements of the school referred to by the Deputy. On completion of this examination, and on receipt of the agreement of the board of management to the proposed accommodation brief, a decision will be taken on how best to provide the accommodation required.
