I wish to advise the Deputy that a building project for the school referred to is included in my Department's 6 Year Construction Programme (2016-2021). The progression of a building project for the school requires the acquisition of a site.
My Department has been working closely with Wexford County Council under the Memorandum of Understanding for the acquisition of school sites in order to identify and procure a suitable site for the school.
A number of potential site options have been identified and these are currently under consideration.
While a site acquisition process is underway, given the commercial sensitivities associated with land acquisitions generally, I am not in a position to comment further at this time.
