The question of the acquisition of the St. Joseph's secondary school property from the Christian Brothers for use by Scoil Aonghusa, Drogheda, is being considered at present. The necessary consultations with my Departments architectural staff and inspectorate are taking place and a decision will be made at the earliest possible date and conveyed to the Scoil Aonghusa authorities.
