Question:

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 in relation to site acquisitions generally, has been requested to source a site for the school in question.

Following a re-advertisment for possible sites, a number of new proposals were received. All site options have been examined by the OPW.

My Department is awaiting clarification from OPW on a number of issues relating to the new site proposals.
