Written answers

Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

The property management section of the Office of Public Works, which acts on behalf of my Department on site acquisitions generally, is continuing to explore all possibilities in the acquisition of a site for a new national school in Kill in consultation with the local authority. Every effort will be made to ensure that a site is acquired as soon as possible.
