View answerI wish to advise that meetings have recently taken place between the Department and Dublin City Council regarding the potential availability of a site and the Department has written to the City Council suggesting a lease arrangement be put in place. A response is awaited from the Council in relation to same.
The further progression of the acquisition of the site will be considered in the context of the capital budget available to the Department for school buildings generally. In light of the many competing demands on the capital budget, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the acquisition of the school site at this time.
