As the Deputy will be aware, for some time my Department has been working with the local authority to identify and acquire land for the delivery of school accommodation for a Gaelscoil and Gaelcholáiste in the area referred to by him. I can confirm that agreement in principle has been reached with a landowner in relation to a suitable site.

My officials met with a delegation from the school to which the Deputy refers on 6 June. At this meeting, there was a mutual exchange of views and information on the matter. Both sides agreed to consider the matter further and there has been contact between my officials and the school since the meeting.
