View answerOfficials from my Department are working closely with officials from South Dublin County Council under the Memorandum of Understanding for the acquisition of school sites to procure a suitable site for a post-primary school to serve the Firhouse area. A site acquisition process is underway at present.
Given the commercial sensitivities associated with land acquisitions generally I am not in a position to provide further details at this time. I can, however, assure you that the acquisition of a new site for the school is a priority for the Department.
