537.

View answerAs the Deputy is aware, my Department is working closely with Donegal County Council in relation to acquiring a suitable site for the school to which he refers. I can confirm that a suitable site has been identified and the acquisition is at an advanced stage. This project has commenced architectural planning and officials from my Department met with the representatives of the school recently to review the plans and outline the process for delivery. Subject to no issues arising, the planning application is due to be lodged in the coming weeks.
