Officials from my Department have been working closely with Kerry Co 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 investigated. Unfortunately in the case of most of the options identified, either the land could not be acquired from the landowner or the site was ultimately considered unfeasible to develop.
However, a suitable site has been identified and discussions are ongoing with the Council in relation to the provision of access and services. We have other site options which have been identified and are still under consideration.
Due to commercial sensitivities relating to site acquisitions generally I am not in a position to provide further details at this time.
