Minister for Education (Mrs. O'Rourke): When considering building proposals demographic trends generally [2253] and specifically those affecting the catchment area of the school in question, are reviewed in depth by my Department.

Other factors considered are the level of post-primary accommodation available and within reasonable access, and the degree to which rationalisation of provision may be required in the light of medium-term and longer term needs.

A decision as to whether and when a project may proceed is taken when a full review on the lines mentioned has been completed and in the light of available resources.
