410. Deputy Olivia Mitchell asked the Minister for Education and Skills when she will announce the location of the new Educate Together secondary school to serve the Stepaside area of County Dublin, which is due to open in September 2016; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2760/16]

The acquisition process of a suitable permanent site for the new post primary school to serve the Ballinteer/Stepaside area is currently underway. Due to commercial sensitivities I am not in a position to provide any further details at this time.

In the interim, officials in my Department are working on the provision of suitable temporary accommodation for this school.
