593 Deputy Tony Gregory asked the Minister for Education and Science when his Department officials will meet the school authorities from a school (details supplied) in Dublin 1 regarding the proposed new school; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40971/08]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 590 and 593 together.

The building project for the school to which the Deputies refer is in the early stages of architectural planning. The Department's Professional and Technical staff is currently nearing completion of a review of the Stage One submission for the project. When this review is completed, my officials will be arranging a meeting with the Board of Management and the Dublin Dockland Development Authority.
