View answerOfficials in my Department are working closely with officials from Galway County and City Councils under the Memorandum of Understanding in relation to the identification and acquisition of a suitable permanent location for the school.
A number of site options have been identified and discussions with these landowners are ongoing.
When the site has been acquired the project will then progress to the architectural design and planning stages.
The school has sufficient accommodation in their current location for September 2021. My Department will shortly be exploring options with regard to the school’s further interim accommodation requirements for September 2022 and will continue to liaise with the school and patron in relation to same.
