Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

I am pleased to advise the Deputy that the acquisition of a site for permanent accommodation for the school to which he refers is at an advanced stage. The site acquisition is subject to satisfactory completion of the conveyancing process.

Once the site acquisition is completed, officials from my Department will be in contact with the relevant school authorities with a view to progressing the project.
