Thank you for your correspondence in relation to Malahide Portmarnock Educate Together National School

I was very happy to meet with representatives of Malahide Portmarnock ETNS on 2 December, to advise them on the status of the acquisition of the permanent site for the school.

As advised at the meeting, a site had been identified for the permanent location of the school and conveyancing commenced. However, this was delayed due to title issues. These have since been resolved and acquisition of this site is at an advanced stage of conveyancing, but not yet closed.

In the intervening period other options for the permanent location for the school presented themselves. These options are currently being assessed in order to ensure the educational requirements for the area are best served.

The options being considered for the permanent location of the Malahide Portmarnock ETNS are within the school planning areas the school was established to serve, of Portmarnock and Malahide.

I am unable to comment any further on the particular circumstances relating to them, due to commercial sensitivities.
