I can confirm to the Deputy that officials from my Department have been working closely for some time now with officials from Wicklow County Council in relation to acquiring a suitable site for the delivery of school accommodation in the area referred to by him. I am pleased to advise the Deputy that agreement in principle, subject to contract, has been reached in relation to a suitable site which will cater not only for the school referred to by him but also for other accommodation needs in the area. Contracts are awaited at present in relation to the site. The Deputy will be aware that the project to deliver the new school building for the school referred to is included in the five year Building Programme which I announced in 2012.
