I can confirm for the Deputy that officials in my Department are working closely with officials from Kildare County Council under the memorandum of understanding in relation to the identification and acquisition of a suitable site for the school in question. A potential site has been identified and discussions are ongoing. Due to commercial sensitivities relating to site acquisitions generally I am not in a position to provide further details at this time.
Once agreement has been reached on the purchase of a suitable site my Department will be in a position to progress the project concerned into the architectural planning process.
