Minister for Education

I propose to take Questions Nos. 91 and 163 together.

The acquisition of a site to accommodate a permanent school building for the school to which the Deputy refers is at a very advanced stage.

Due to the commercially sensitive nature of site acquisitions generally, it is not possible to comment further at this time. I can, however, assure you that the acquisition of a new site for the school is a priority for the Department.
